Your MX record points to a machine called "server1.rdcomputersolutions.net". The problem is that there is no A (address) record for server1.rdcomputersolutions.net. So when someone tries to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], their mail system first does an MX record lookup and finds out "to send e-mail to someone at rdcomputersolutions.net, you must send it to the machine server1.rdcomputersolutions.net". Then, it does an A record lookup on server1.rdcomputersolutions.net to get its IP address, but since there is no A record, the mail software can't get the IP address, so it can't send the mail. At this point, the simplest route is probably to ask the person handling your DNS to add an A record for server1.rdcomputersolutions.net or, if that's not the machine where you want your mail going, to change the MX record to point to the proper machine. - Jeff
