MTAs with trouble delivering to MX -> CNAME

2005-01-06 14:06:08

Hello.

I've read on various places on the Internet that having an MX pointing to a CNAME is bad, but works, followed by recommendations that you don't do it, because it breaks mail delivery by certain MTAs.

So which MTAs?

Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 suffered from this problem <http://support.microsoft.com/kb/280794/EN-US/>, but it was fixed in the first Service Pack for it.

Any others?

Thanks, regards,
