| Feb 15, 2022 at 18:02 | comment | added | LMK Web | I also haven't seen an MX record pointing at the root domain before, but it's good advice to make sure those are accurate first! | |

Still trying to make this more clear

| Feb 14, 2022 at 7:12 | comment | added | Steve | @grahamj42 - it is a bit complex to wrap your brain around. Essentially what we are doing is getting example.com to one IP address and mail.example.com (the MX) to a different address. | |
| Feb 14, 2022 at 7:03 | comment | added | grahamj42 | After you edit, I still don't find this clear. What I think you are saying is, if you have example.com A 1.2.3.4 and example.com MX example.com, changing the A record will break the mail. This seems a crazy way to configure a domain, but I guess you've seen it! | |

"if the MX Record is a CNAME" Which is a DNS misconfiguration anyway. An MX record should NOT be pointing to a name that is a CNAME. See §2.4 of RFC 1912.
