The MX record is at the domain level. I would suggest having the mailman host record to make it easier to navigate to the list controls. Setting up a virtual host in apache is easy so both www and mailman records could reside on the same IP address.<br>
<br>FYI the VPS provider should have the ability to set the reverse DNS to avoid spam filters that use that as a data point for classification.<br><br>Dan Kulinski<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 16, 2011 at 10:44 AM, David L.

Here's one more idea to throw in the mix.<br>
<br>
Move <a href="mailto:clue@cluedenver.org">clue@cluedenver.org</a> to <a href="mailto:clue@mailman.cluedenver.org">clue@mailman.cluedenver.org</a>, which is a separate server. No MX record muss, no fuss.<br>
