Post subject:  Mailman - DNS for subdomain
Hello,

I have gone through all the setup instructions, and a few hundred google searches, but I am caught up on how to configure the DNS settings in the Linode Control panel.

I have a list at lists.(my domain).com

The DNS settings currently are

(domain.com) - Preference 10 - Subdomain (blank)

I am experienced in normal BIND entries, but I don't know how to configure it in the linode control panel

Do I put "lists" in the "subdomain" field, or do I made the subdomain as a separate MX entry?

ie:

lists.domain.com - Preference 10 - Subdomain (blank)

I've tried both with 5 minute TTLs and mail is not reaching the server. (nothing in server error or mail logs)

email sent to just domain.com reaches the server fine, so I know its just the subdomain setup that is at fault, but I'm at a loss how to do it in the GUI linode manager.

Thanks for any advice. :)

By hiding your domain name, it's difficult for us to know how you have things set up.

As a guess, you could do one of the following:
1. Create an MX record for lists.domain.com, leaving the target blank (which would point to domain.com, which is supposedly a valid name for your Linode).
2. Create an A record for lists.domain.com, filling in your Linode's IP address.

In either case, someone sending mail to an address at lists.domain.com should see it delivered.
