Thank you. &nbsp;I just made the changes. &nbsp;I will see how things go. &nbsp;By the way, why did you change the &nbsp;0 before mail in MX to 10?

Thank you.  I just made the changes.  I will see how things go.  By the way, why did you change the  0 before mail in MX to 10?

<div>
<br />
Which 0?<br />
<br />
I missed the priority out of this one:<br />
<br />
@ 14400 IN MX mail<br />
<br />
Otherwise they're all 10 or higher?<br />

I missed the priority out of this one:

@ 14400 IN MX mail

Otherwise they're all 10 or higher?

<br />
Thank you for your help so far.

Sorry for the long wait for a response, moving house and getting an internet connection took far longer than expected.<br />
<br />
It depends a little on what you have running.<br />
<br />
Default for the Zone Files is /var/named.<br />

MX records verification

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.
