Duh... now what

2004-02-02 15:50:13
Hi,
                                                                                
                    
Some time ago I "renamed" a box (more precise, I discontinued it and put another
one in place).  I setup a CNAME pointing to the new name.  So far so good.
                                                                                
                    
I still receive mail from time to time and I think (not sure) the original name
is still used by some for other protocols as well.
                                                                                
                    
I know, I can alter DNS, get rid of the CNAME etc.  However, lazy as I am, is 
there
another way to say this original name should _not_ send mail yet the new box 
can?
                                                                                
                    
I.e.:
   oldname  TXT "v=spf1 -all"
   newname  TXT "v=spf1 MX -all"
combined into one?
                                                                                
                    
Oldname should not have a TXT record as it already has a CNAME record.
                                                                                
                    
Am I missing something here or do I have to do the right thing and
setup A and MX in stead of CNAME ?
                                                                                
                    
cheers,
Alex
