CNAME Record domain forwarding breaks emails due to MX Records mis-match
CNAME Record caused my emails to fail.
I hosted 2 emails at RackSpace for my domain, and verified they worked fine. This required me to update the MX records where I host my domain.
name1@domain1.com
name2@domain1.com
Fine.
Then, before I could create a website, I was allowed by my partner to point my domain at his website.
The redirect worked once I created a CNAME record.
domain1.com brings up the site at domain2.com
But the emails stopped working.
The error is "553 Relaying disallowed"
I called RackSpace and they said it's because the MX records at the domain2.com, where domain1.com points at, are pointing to Zoho (a major email provider).
So, my question is...
If I move my two emails from RackSpace to Zoho, can I have a solution where
1) domain forwarding is working (domain1.com brings up the site at domain2.com)
2) emails work as well (both (domain1.com emails work again)
?
Thanks.
Or, is there another way to configure this?

then all mail would follow the MX record and the web access would follow the domain1.com
Another way could be: domain1.com to your site
www.domain1.com CNAME -> domain2.com
on your site handle the case for domain1.com -> redirect -> www.domein1.com
A third option: run HAPROXY on you domain1.com system and reversproxy all requests to the domain2.com system.
