Well I guess it is as I am responsible for my zone files.

it isn't made up, it is a real nameserver, acting as my secondary.

Since terrance became my secondary, I have done ndslookups on it to verify
it was working, and it seemd to be working for me.

there is no IMAIL entry for cfdeveloper.co.uk in the registry or in the
hosts file at c:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc
.
the domain does of course exist on my NS. And as your previous lookup
showed, the MX record does point at everyone.net. And no-one else has
reported mail problems so far, and they would all be going via my
nameservers, just not sending through my mailserver. Which is why this is
confusing.
