ok, it looks like..

now to configure the MX record shall i point it to m0.mysite.com?

the thing is: i actually don't quite understand what is hostname (network interface) and host of my domain. in windows i came from there was a computer name (any name for local network use) , but i never used it in MS Exchange. i used to have an MX record pointing to mail.mysite.com, but in fact the machine's name was M0.

will highly appreciate some insight on this subject.

many thanks

alex
