A quick whois lookup shows that you used GoDaddy to register. GoDaddy sets up bogus MX records and you can remove them. [GoDaddy......] 10 xen02.satimis.com 220.232.213.178 20 smtp.secureserver.net -> CNAME(s) -> 64.202.166.12 (no glue) 30 mailstore1.secureserver.net 64.202.166.11 (no glue) [......GoDaddy] You can remove any MX record that you do not accept mail through. -- Regards Robert It is not just an adventure.
