Correct setup for email?

[happydj]

Hello

I am having a problem getting email to work via the server. I only have one account on the server (in this example we will call it aaa.com)

I am new to this and wondered if the MX record for aaa.com should be - server18.aaa.com, mail.aaa.com or just aaa.com

I seem to be able to send email when it is aaa.com or server18.aaa.com - but not mail.aaa.com - However no matter what the settings, I cant seem to recieve any email to any account.

If you need more information to help - please ask and I will give it. This has just got me very confused and I am now desperate!

Thanks in advance for any help people offer!

In WHM Edit DNS Zone File

aaa.com. 14000 IN MX 0 server18.aaa.com.
mail.aaa.com. 14000 IN A 000.000.000.000

don't miss out the dots after the domain names and 000.000.000.000 is your shared IP or dedicated IP for that account.

In WHM Editting MX for zone aaa.com.db
server18.aaa.com
