Are you trying to get to your gmail webmail interface using webmail.mimerswell.net? If so you'd have to discuss that with the folk at gmail; it's not a DirectAdmin issue.

But here are some issues I see: Is this the zone file for mimerswell.net? I'm guessing it is.

Then why do you have both of these:

webmail CNAME mimerswell.net.
webmail.mimerswell.net. CNANE ghs.google.com.

You can only have one line for webmail. You've got two because webmail and webmail.mimerswell.net. are the same. You've got one of them to mimerswell.net. which is your machine, and one to ghs.google.com., which is google.

The first thing to do is only have one CNAME line; otherwise neither will work.

So presuming you want the webmail URL to end up on the google server, then use the cname to google, and get rid of the other one.

Based on my testing, that should work for you.
