Hi all,

Has anyone had any luck entering a MX record with a wildcard into the Linode DNS panel?

When I try to enter a subdomain of "*" or "*.pagerduty.com", I get this error: "You have entered an invalid subdomain hostname."

Basically, I'm trying to use Linode to put a record like this into my DNS record:
* MX 10 mail.pagerduty.com.

Don't use a wildcard, just leave the field blank. You'll end up with:
Code:
pagerduty.com.     IN     MX     10 mail.pagerduty.com.
