[nmglug] CNAME RECORD

[a]

Hi
I am a little wobbly on this one and could use more illumination.
I just had a wordpress website replaced with a parking page,the email
now does not seem to work.

1.)"CMS as Wordpress, Joomla and others may resolve incorrectly if you 
point a domain to them via CNAME. As they are highly dependable on the 
domain these websites were developed for, by default, they are not 
suited to work under 2 or more different domains."

APPARANTLY;SINCE IT IS NO LONGER POINT TO WORDPRESS THIS SHOULD NOT BE 
THE ISSUE.  1 RIGHT OR 2 WRONG?

2.)It is not recommended to set up a CNAME record for a naked domain (@ 
or domain.com) as it will make other records for your domain (such as MX 
or TXT records) invisible. As a result, the mail service will stop 
working, and the emails will not get delivered properly. It is possible 
to create a CNAME record for www.domain.com and then set up a redirect 
from domain.com to www.domain.com as a workaround.
