What would be the type for the RR that contains the hostname of the mail server?

The record type would be different. For web server, type of RR(resource record) should be A OR AAAA OR ANAME OR CNAME For mail server, type of RR(resource record) should be MX record.

The MX record is used to map the mail server’s host name to its IP address… Gate111 answered Apr 17, 2023 Gate111 comment Share Follow See all 0 reply Please log in or register to add a comment.
