That error didn�t say what record type it couldn�t find but above, right
now, I find all the MX and A records I need to deliver mail.
even the reverse for the MX is cool:
mgw1# dig -x 202.181.203.69

and eeplace.com domain checks out clean with DNS Expert

Your DNS for eeplace is very good. I expect they�re screwed either in that
their DNS is broken when querying yours, or their mail server is screwed.
Have them try to send again, sometimes errors are intermittant.
Finally, turn on query logging in BIND and see what their NS is looking
for, although beware of negative caching value. yours is too long at 12H:
mgw1# dig mail.eeplace.com soa
; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> mail.eeplace.com soa
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch

;; AUTHORITY SECTION:
eeplace.com. 12H IN SOA ns1.ixmail.hkcix.com.
dleung.ixmail.hkcix.com. (
2830252842 ; serial
5M ; refresh
1M ; retry
2W ; expiry
12H ) ; minimum
Note that the last field in SOA is now "negative TTL" as interpreted by
latest versions of BIND8 and BIND9. IIRC, it defaults to a max of 3H.
