IMPORTANT: Most Internet e-mail servers only support MX-records.

Only use MB, MG, MINFO and MR records if you have specific requirements for these.

 

MB-records (Mailbox)

Maps a mailbox to a host (server).

The host must be a valid A-record already defined (in the same zone or elsewhere).

 

MG-records (Mail group member)

Used to specify mail group members (one MG-record per member).

Each member mailbox must be identical to a valid mailbox (MB-record).

 

MINFO-records (Mailbox or mail list information)

Specifies the mailbox of the responsible person and optionally a mailbox for errors for this mailbox or list.

Each mailbox must be the same as a valid mailbox (MB-record) that already exist in the zone.

 

MR-records (Renamed mailbox)

Specifies a renamed mailbox.

An MR-record can be used as a forwarding entry for a user who has moved to a different mailbox.

 

To create a new mailbox record, right-click a zone in the left list in the DNS Records window, and select "Other new record" from the pop-up menu.

 

These record types are defined in RFC1035.
