Can I point an MX record to a CNAME record? Can't Post

No, MX records must not point to CNAME records. In the following example, the domain greatmail.com has the MX record mail.greatmail.com:

greatmail.com.com MX mail.greatmail.com

The following CNAME record is incorrect since the MX record is pointed to a CNAME record:

mail.greatmail.com CNAME mail2.greatmail.com
