Yes, it should deliver to the A record for the domain. There's no A record for ici.net either.

Subject: No MX records? Hello, I am having some trouble sending email to domains that do not list an MX record. The email messages sit in the SMTP queue, when I right click properties for a particular queue it states at the bottom "Unable to bind to the destination server in DNS." When I do an nslookup, setting type=mx, it does return an mail server. Let's take ici.net as an example: > nslookup > set type=mx > ici.net Server: venus.inside.kbhr.com Address: 10.66.10.44 ici.net primary name server = kirk.ici.net responsible mail addr = dns.ici.net serial = 2004042101 refresh = 10800 (3 hours) retry = 3600 (1 hour) expire = 604800 (7 days) default TTL = 86400 (1 day) A colleague has indicated tome mail should still get delivered even without an MX record and the recipient indicates he does in fact receive email from other outside sources. Is there some setting on my Exchange 2000 Enterprise (Windows 2000) box I need to change to get this resolved? Mail to domains with MX records is flowing out normally. Thanks for your insights.
