Ok I think I understand, thanks.
Just to clarify; if my server host is vps.mydomian.com
and I want mail to be sent from mail.mydomain.com and
mail.myotherdomain.com, how would I use the example I
gave?
I'm really a newbie at this.
Each domain has their own name server and IP if that
helps.
Thank you.
