I've actually been experiencing the same problem with my Exchange 2003 environment. However I'm finding that this happens even if there is an MX message present. The mail eventually goes through, after hours of delay. But it has been quite a pain for me trying to figure out what is causing this. I have yet to see a common thread as to what could be causing this problem, as it's different domains on a random basis. The most recent example I have is gsionline.com.

Yes, it should deliver to the A record for the domain. There's no A record for ici.net either. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Hooks, Tim Posted At: Friday, June 18, 2004 10:14 AM Posted To: swynk Conversation: No MX records? 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.
