As it turns out there I had szabgab.com configured as CNAME so no matter what did I do with the MX record it was not taken into account. I changed now and I have set it up as an A record pointing to the s5 machine @ 3600 IN A 207.158.15.132 mail is a CNAME pointing to s6, though I only use it for http access for my mailing lists: http://mail.szabgab.com/ mail 3600 IN CNAME s6.hostlocal.com And the MX record looks like this: szabgab.com. 3600 IN MX 0 s6.hostlocal.com. This works now but it means I'll have more work every time I need to move server and the DNS interface of Godaddy is so slow! Anyway, thanks for the suggestions, it pointed me to the right direction.
