This is a typical web server, hosting several websites, it doesn't receive emails ( I use Google Apps to receive email for these domains). It only sends out notification emails like this forum.
1. I always use mail.mydomain.com as my hostname, but I'm wondering if mydomain.com is a better choice in case of best practice of email delivery.
2. If the server hosts the following websites:
firstdomain.com
seconddomain.com
thirddomain.com
Hostname: mail.firstdomain.com
When the server sends out emails, the receiving email server only knows they are from mail.firstdomain.com, if a email was sent by a script on seconddomain.com, the SPF record for seconddomain.com doesn't matter at all, am I understanding it correctly?
Thanks!
