Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The MX (mail exchange) record specifies the mail server responsible for accepting email messages on behalf of a domain. Therefore, Felicia's email server uses the MX record for zoneA.com to locate Rhonda's email server. The A record is used to map a domain name to an IP address, the AAAA record is used for IPv6 addresses, and the CNAME record is used to create an alias for a domain name.
