Think of it this way: If someone sends mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED], how is their mail server
going to know where to send the mail? If you try sending to [EMAIL PROTECTED], it
looks up the MX record for mail.nvws.net, and sends it there. However, there is no MX
record for nvws.net, so mail can't get sent there.
If you add an MX record for nvws.net (pointing to mail.nvws.net), you should be all
set.
