Adding MX records to DNS

[jorisx]

My client wants to use:
http://www.gfi.com/hosted-email-security/

But can't add that type of record to the DNS?
They ask me add:
yourcompany.com. IN MX 10 yourcompany.com.pri-mx.smtproutes.com.
yourcompany.com. IN MX 90 yourcompany.com.bak-mx.smtproutes.com.

But the MX record option in the dns page of Direct admin only lets me change the numbers 10 to 90 ?

So how can I add the above 2 records via direct admin dns page ?


Best regards,
joris

Hello,

add it as:

yourcompany.com.pri-mx.smtproutes.com. 10
yourcompany.com.bak-mx.smtproutes.com. 90

it will be turned into

yourcompany.com. IN MX 10 yourcompany.com.pri-mx.smtproutes.com.
yourcompany.com. IN MX 90 yourcompany.com.bak-mx.smtproutes.com.

in zone file.

Thanx for the quick reply, we're testing this now

And while you're at it, don't forget to uncheck the 'use this server' setting in the MX records section of the user level interface.

yes, unchecked 'use this server' and every thing seems working now!
glad that's solved!
