I added another MX record without the hostname field containing mail and now DNS Expert can find one MX record   @                       A 216.149.208.6 @                       MX 10 mail mail                    A 216.149.208.6                         MX 10 mail www                     A 216.149.208.6     In controlpanel:imail:smpt:DNS contains the IP addresses on my dns server (ns1.ourdnsserver.com - 216.149.208.3)     I just tried to send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] from [EMAIL PROTECTED] and a funny thing happened.  [EMAIL PROTECTED] gor the email instead.  Strange!?! imailhomeir\spool\sysMMDD.txt  Contains the following:   01:21 17:54 SMTP-(00000036) processing D:\IMAIL\spool\Q025ac49.GSC 01:21 17:54 SMTP-(00000036) (E1) ERR dwS=442 dwS1=0 UID=248495249 01:21 17:54 SMTP-(00000036) ldeliver mail.topnotchhosting.com art-main (1) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> 338 01:21 17:54 SMTP-(00000036) finished D:\IMAIL\spool\Q025ac49.GSC status=1 01:21 17:54 SMTPD(0056022A) [216.149.208.2] connect 216.149.208.2 port 1542     ----- Original Message ----- From: Len Conrad To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 21, 2000 5:15 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] Please Help! Can't send mail to outsidedomains Of course, missing MX records for your own domain is NOT the cause of yr pb of not being able to send mail with Imail. In controlpanel:imail:smpt:DNS, what are you using as DNS server ip address (that's the machine that will tell Imail the MX records for destination domains Imail wants to send to). And when you send mail, what's in the imailhomeir\spool\sysMMDD.txt file for your outgoing msgs? Len ======== I do have MX records but for some reason when I analize the zone with DNS Expert it tells me that i have no MX records.  It does the same with PTR records as well.
