No, an MX record can point to a CNAME. For years I had my MX record
for popey.com pointing to popey.dyndns.org which was sat on the end of
an NTL connection :D

I changed form NTL to UKFSN simply to allow me to have multiple IP
addresses. If NTL would've done that I probably would have stayed with
them. I found their service to be very reliable.

(as an aside, I have a Pace Sky Digi box and have never had a problem
with it in over 5 years).

I dunno what you do to computing devices Paul but you really do seem
to bring out the worst in them ;) Maybe it's your aura? :)

Cheers,
