Not quite, I have several MX records that point to [{,alt1.,alt2.}aspmx.l.google.com, <a href="http://alt2.aspmx.l.google.com">alt2.aspmx.l.google.com</a>, aspmx[2-5].googlemail.com]. I then have a CNAME record for mail that points to
<a href="http://ghs.google.com">ghs.google.com</a>. I believe this should be fine, does it seem okay to you?<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Jan 10, 2008 6:34 PM, <a href="mailto:richardvoigt@gmail.com">richardvoigt@gmail.com

mail.mydomain.com</a>, correct? MX records can't be CNAMEs and quite a<br>few providers will actually blacklist servers that use them.<br><div><div></div><div class="Wj3C7c"><br>><br>> Thanks,<br>> Brandon<br>
