CNAME and WHM - how to stop domain name being appended automatically

Really quick one - I am attempting to use mailgun for my email.

One of the requirements is to add a CNAME = mailgun.org

I am attempting to do this via WHM - and can successfully create the record under 'Edit DNS Zone' for the domain.

The problem is that it is auto-appending my domain name after the 'mailgun.org' entry

So when I save the record gets saved as mailgun.org.mydomainname.com

How can I stop the auto-append of my domain name to a CNAME??

Solution

  • For anyone who has this problem the answer is simple - just add a fullstop after mailgun.org (mailgun.org.)

    Simplest things but when you don't know them they can be a real pain!
