domainname appears behind my MX records

[Cala90210]

Hi,

I inherrited the domains/directadmin console from a previous IT-guy who was into DNS-stuff. I'm fairly new into this.

What i wan't to do is change the MX records. So i logged into the console, choose under "Email management", i click "MX Records" and the i added the neccesary MX, being "in.mx.trendmicro.eu".
So far so good.

Now after on day, if i check the MX records (NSLOOKUP)
I see that the mx's are changed, but after the records i typed in, the domain-name is automaticly added.
so it looks like this :
in.mx.trendmicro.eu.mydomain.com

How can i change this ?

Regards,

You are doing everything correctly, except for one thing:

When adding the "in.mx.trendmicro.eu" hostname as a MX DNS record in the Email Management menu, ensure that you include a period (dot) after the hostname, like this...

in.mx.trendmicro.eu.

That should fix it!

Thanks.
Made the change with the . (dot) behind the names, and everything is correct now.

Thanks again,

I'm glad that your MX records are setup correctly now.
