For a fabit system we require a number of DNS entries for your domain name. Not every situation is the same, but this is how we normally do it:

mail.<yourdomain>. is set to the external IP address of your mail server.
remote.<yourdomain>. is set to be a CNAME pointing at your fabit server (eg aa000019.uk.fabit.net.).
www.<yourdomain>. is usually set to be a CNAME pointing at the server hosting your website, (eg web1.uk.fabit.net.)

We usually set up three MX (Mail eXchange) records:

MX 10 mail.<yourdomain>
MX 20 mx1.uk.fabit.net.
MX 30 mx2.uk.fabit.net.

NB For more information on DNS, please read What is DNS.
