Hiya,
Can someone remind me of the autoturn DNS name for the mail relay MX record. I've just changed my SMTP details and forgot to make a note of it so now no longer have a backup relay.
Thanks

I believe it is autoturn.plus.net and you connect on port 79

Sorry I meant what's the name for the MX record I need to add to my domain's DNS records for mail relay if my mail server goes offline. I presently only have the one record, which is my external IP.
Thanks

I thought when you selected SMTP mail delivery for a domain it automatically added the autoturn server. Have you tried changing it to specify your own DNS and then change it back to SMTP?
It's also possible that it won't show up in the DNS maintenance for a domain, but will be there if you check the DNS records using dig or nslookup.

When I had my SMTP set to use the deault, nslookup showed to MX records:
mail.domainname.co.uk
plusnets mail relay
I had to change it to 'specify DNS records for my domain' and now it only shows 1 MX record:
smtp.domainname.co.uk
I can't remember what the mail relay's MX record is! I could change it back and wait for DNS to populate I suppose!
mail.domainname.co.uk
