how to create MX record in remote server ?

[Alain Spineux]

This is not related to cyrus but to your DNS server configuration

looking for hosteurope.de I see
# dig hosteurope.de mx

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> hosteurope.de mx
;; global options:  printcmd
;; Got answer:

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;hosteurope.de.                 IN      MX

;; ANSWER SECTION:
hosteurope.de.          300     IN      MX      50 mx0.hosteurope.de.

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
hosteurope.de.          3600    IN      NS      dns.hosteurope.de.
hosteurope.de.          3600    IN      NS      dns2.hosteurope.de.

;; ADDITIONAL SECTION:
mx0.hosteurope.de.      3600    IN      A       80.237.138.6

Then you have to chnage the config on dns.hosteurope.de  (or maybe dns2)
and add an entry for dedicated.hosteurope.de, to finally get


dedicated.hosteurope.de. xxx     IN      MX      xx
what_you_want_here.hosteurope.de.
