One trick not to wait, is -- set the DNS servers of your Linux box and home machine to use the DNS servers of your domain. That way, you don't have to wait!

I was wondering how I can set up dns so that my mail servers are mail.<tld>.com ? Is there somethign I have to configure in my DNS records for MX and is there additional settings I need to do on my linode? |

The two aren't really related, but... Set up mail.domainname.com as an A record pointing to your IP that runs sendmail. You don't need an MX record in your DNS, but it is a good idea. Point the MX record to the FQDN of the machine that spools mail for your domains. It doesn't have to be "mail.domainname.com" -- it can be "www.domainname.com" or "domainname.com" if you've got an A record for "domainname.com'... -Chris |
