Hi,
Has any one had problems with mail clients were your DNS is like this;
doman.com MX 50 mail.domain.com domain.com MX 100 mail2.domain.com
domain.com CNAME www.domain.com
The short answer is you can't do that and expect it to work because you can't mix CNAME and other types of records for a hostname. It is simply an invalid configuration at a DNS level.

Yes, I agree. I posted this as some one wants me to allow this due to old online articles referencing simply http://domain.com
I told them that I cannot allow CNAME and MX mix of any kind but they insist. At any rate its up to me in the end but I wanted to reach out to the community.
