Some mailers get ornery about sending to a domain without and MX record. They expect to see and MX record and they should default to the A record if the MX record is not available, but they don't always do it well.

From here I can send to either [EMAIL PROTECTED] or [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm surprised that it's not working for you.

It points to uconnvm.uconn.edu at 137.99.26.3. Try resending the message, leaving out the uconnvm part of the address. -Peter -----Original Message----- From: Dave Vantine [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, July 03, 2002 6:53 To: Exchange Discussions Subject: NDR to Uconn Exch 5.5. Sp4 W2K Sp2 A user is trying send an email to a recipient @uconnvm.uconn.edu and it is bouncing. Running the RESTEST.EXE utility fails and states it would have been queued for delivery later. I checked the domain against the http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify.html and find that there does not appear to be any MX records for the domain. When I ran Sam Spade's SMTP tool the recipient address is ok. I believe I recall from a post to the list some time ago that Exchange will not deliver mail to systems that do not contain MX records. If this correct, is there anyway to resolve this short of getting Uconn to put an MX record in there DNS servers. I can already hear there response to this!
