What is a MX and CNAME record?

A CNAME is an alias for a real domain name. Thus, if boblovesyou.com.com is a CNAME for bob.com, accessing fredsogs.com would be the same as accessing bob.com. That is, you would arrive at the same place. CNAME's, however, do not h ave their own server space or userid's. You cannot send mail to an address at a CNAME. CNAME's must also be registered with a domain registration agency in order to resolve.

MX records specify a list of hosts that are configured to receive mail se nt to a domain name. Every host that receives mail should have an MX record, since if one is not found at the time the mail is delivered, an MX value will be imputed with a cost of 0 and a destination of the host itself.
