I am having trouble properly setting up mx entry for a subdomain on my server. I have the regular domain which works fine (default settings) and a bunch of sub domains. Each subdomain in the main domain's dns entry has two lines:
subdomain 14400 A IP
www.subdomain 14400 A IP
I need to point one of the subdomains mx entry to the main domain. So, I added the following to the dns entry:
subdomain 14400 MX 0 maindomain. (yes, with the end period)
Seems to not work according to bounced email messages below
