Re: [aclug-L] Networks and mail servers

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For this, you need to add a record to your DNS such as:

mail.companyname.com.           IN      CNAME   server.company.com.

If you don't run the DNS yourself, contact your ISP to have them add
such a name to your DNS records.
