postfix with new MX record
Currently, my email system with Postfix and Dovecot runs fine. The MX record links to my root A record (let's say domain.com) and I have added to the configuration file:
virtualmailboxdomains = domain.com
I need to change the A record of that MX record to something like mail.domain.com so that email and regular webiste can point to a different server.
Addinc the A record mail.domain.co and changing the MX record is easy.
But, do I have to change something to my postfix configuration? My limited understanding of emails tells me that the dovecot installation is not concerned with that change.
Thanks
Regards
