Hi,

I have a quick bind question. I want to set the MX records on a domain to something normal but I want to set the MX for all subdomains to something else.

example.com mail.example.com
xxx.example.com blackhole.example.com

Thanks in advance



I should be more specific. I asked the question wrong.

*.example.com blackhole.example.com

What I need is that any subdomain point to blackhole.


Then replace 'xxx' with '*'. EG:

Briefly, in the zone file for example.com:

@       MX      10   mail.example.com.
*       MX      10   blackhole.example.com.

Yes, it -is- that simple. ;)
Not recommended for normal use but if you understand the risks involved,
it does work that way.
