1722.2Please clarify me !!TLAV02::CHENSAKSun Feb 16 1997 11:2811
    I 'm confusing about the MX record, I have setup the AV Firewall for
    Unix 2.0 and using MS Exchange as the Mail hub. So far, I know that at
    the firewall, the MX record must point to the firewall itself, my
    question is that: How does the firewall know where or who is the
    internal mail hub that the firewall has to send incoming mail to?  I
    know that this is a very stupid question, but please clarify me for my
    better understanding.
    
    (My situation is the fireall is setup to be Open DNS)
