I updated the DNS records to create the MX records.
I can send email through the domain, but cannot receive. I have gone to
<http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=mortgagemac.com>http://www.dnsreport.com/tools/dnsreport.ch?domain=mortgagemac.com
for testing. It shows that the MX record does not exist for the domain.
that zone has no NS records at the authoritative NS:
dig mortgagemac.com mx @ns1.dnsfx.com.
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> mortgagemac.com mx @ns1.dnsfx.com.
; (1 server found)
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 32439
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0
;; QUERY SECTION:
;; mortgagemac.com, type = MX, class = IN
;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
mortgagemac.com. 1H IN SOA ns1.dnsfx.com. admin.dnsfx.com. (
2006022202 ; serial
1h30m ; refresh
1H ; retry
1w3d ; expiry
1H ) ; minimum
"no error" and "0 answers" plus the SOA record for negative TTL
caching are what is called "negative answer".
When you succeed in adding MX records, they will be instantaneously
available world-wide.
However, the "1H" in the last field of the SOA record means that some
NSs (only those that actually queried for MXs when there weren't any)
will be caching the negative answer for 1 hour, max.
