Hello all,

I work at a school, and the employees have the email address:
name@test.com, and the mailserver is mail.test.com. Next year the students get there own mail address: student@students.test.com. The MTA is the same as the employee
mail on the same server: mail.test.com. Do I have to add something in my dns settings? now it's like this:

IN MX 10 mail.test.com.

We use bind 9.2.3 on freebsd 4.10.
 
To account for every subdomain you could have an MX record that will cover all cases, such as ..

*.test.com IN MX mail.test.com.

Chris.
