Hi,

Not too long ago, we had a discussion about setting up email accounts for
virtual domains. If the mail server and the web server were on the same
machine, the same IP could be used for the virtual domain and mail.
It was mentioned that if the web and mail servers were on separate machines
, there was some way to use MX records to save having to use separate IPs on
each machine.
Would somebody be kind enough to explain this to me? Maybe include a small
sample?

Thanks,

Lance
