Re: Which domain name record iRedMail needs?

If your email domain name is '@mydomain.com', you need to setup MX record for 'mydomain.com'. MX record must point to a A record hostname, e.g. pop.mydomain.com, mx.mydomain.com, mail.mydomain.com.

You see, it's up to you.

Please don't expect to always get straight answer in this forum, you need to do some homework first.
