This ties into the post yesterday about the unable to relay error
someone else, and myself are getting.

The problem, for me, is this:

Every time I get an unable to relay message, it is because the exchange
server has retrieved the WRONG MX record.  The Exchange server looks to
2 internal AD DNS servers.  These servers have the CORRECT MX record.
These servers forward out to resolver.qwest.com

What Exchange is doing is getting the A record for the domain, and not
the MX record.  Domain in question at this time is flpsop.com:
A record for flpsop.com = 208.252.182.133
MX record for flpsop.com = 208.188.123.235 (the only MX record in DNS,
checked against multiple external DNS servers)

There happens to be an SMTP engine running on the same IP at the A
record looks up, but it cannot accept mail from external mail servers.

I get this all the time from a variety of domains. Exchange 2003 SP1 is
running on 2003 SP1.  

Has anyone heard of this or know how I can correct it?
