Steve,
When I query DNS, I do not find a MX record for the domain, nor an A record
for the domain (not required, but people often provide so lazy web users
don't have to type 'www' in their URL).
I did not query your DNS (network limitations keep me from doing this), so
what you have there may or may not be correct. All I can say for sure is
that the information you say you have entered is not propagating or it may
be incorrect.
When I use the IP address (PTR lookup), I got this:
68.248.90.216.in-addr.arpa.
host = mail.milletics.com.
Then using that name:
mail.milletics.com.
10, 216.90.248.68.milletics.com.
mail.milletics.com.
216.90.248.68
This tells me the MX record is on mail., not the domain! And that MX record
is not correct (should not have the IP portion in it and normally would be a
FQDN!). The A record is OK.
If you send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I'm pretty sure you will have
better success, at least until you get DNS straightened out.
