After having bought a domain (example.tld) without webspace, I want to let this point to my other domain called (myhomepage.somefreehoster.com).I know this will work using DNS CNAME record and when someone looks for example.tld, the resulting IP will be this of myhomepage.somefreehoster.com.However, how do I let this pass for emails sent via domain @example.tld (like webmaster@example.tld)?I do not want to send my mail through myhomepage.somefreehoster.com.If this is not possible the way I am trying to do, let me please know some clever alternatives.Still, preferably, I would like to use a DNS redirect.
DNS CNAME domain.tld, email address problem
dns;email;cname;email address
When a mail server wants to deliver mail to @domain.tld, it makes a DNS lookup for the MX record for that particular domain. It will connect to the server returned by the lookup with SMTP, and send the e-mail.So, you should add the MX record for your @domain.tld domain, and enter the name of the server that handles the e-mail for that domain.
