DNS zone defaults — what about mx too?

as a follow up to my earlier post, example.com defaulting to http://www.example.com,

what about user@example.com vs user@mail.example.com?

use the force and deliver me from my misguided ways….

For each mail domain you want to use, you need to add an MX record (or two).

For example, if you want to accept mail for user@example.com and user@mail.example.com you’ll add two MX records:

example.com.           IN    MX    10    mailserver.example.com.
mail.example.com.      IN    MX    10    mailserver.example.com.

Now any message addressed to user@example.com or user@mail.example.com will be forwarded to the same mail server (namely mailserver.example.com)
