5554.1Needs MX records in Corporate DNSCGOOA::OWONGSKIWI in Canada (VAO)Sat May 31 1997 02:4244
    According to my invocation of nslookup taov01 and taov06 do not have MX
    records in the Digital corporate DNS, hence you can't get mail from the
    Internet.
    
    My entry for vaou09.vao.dec.com follows.  I get messages from the Internet
    fine.

5554.3MUST be registered in Corporate MX environment...CGOOA::OWONGSKIWI in Canada (VAO)Mon Jun 02 1997 17:3312
    The entries need to be added so that they show up at the DNS used by
    our external mail gateways mail11.digital.com etc.
    
    When mail is received from the Internet, the external mail gateway
    checks the recipient address and needs to know how to redirect the
    message inside of Digital.
    
    Since your nodes are not registered in the corporate DNS, the lookup
    fails and the external mail sender will probably get a host unknown
    error message.

5554.4how to setup MX, then update serialPARZVL::ogodhcp-124-40-168.ogo.dec.com::kennedynuncam non paratusTue Jun 03 1997 12:4427
First, you don't want just the one MX record, you want to 
have the lowest preference (highest priority) MX record
be for the machine itself, then higher preference for
the mail relay machines which can receive mail from the
Internet.  I'd recommend you use:

        taov01.tao.dec.com.     IN      MX       10     taov01.tao.dec.com.
        taov01.tao.dec.com.     IN      MX      100     mail31.digital.com.
        taov01.tao.dec.com.     IN      MX      200     mail11.digital.com.

mail31.digital.com is the relay in Singapore, which is probably a
better choice for you than mail11, which is in the US.

Second, once you've updated the information in your primary nameserver,
then you need to change (usually add 1 to) the Serial entry in your
SOA record:
        @       IN      SOA     taxp03.tao.dec.com.
        postmaster.taxp03.tao.dec.com. (
                                109     ; Serial
                                7200    ; Refresh - 20 minutes
                                600     ; Retry - 10 minute
                                1209600 ; Expire - 2 weeks
                                43200 ) ; Minimum - 12 hours

(e.g, change it to 110).  Then your secondary nameservers will see that
they need to copy new information from the primary and the MX records will
soon be seen everywhere.
