You (and Andy, who makes the same point) are correct. However, that doesn't
solve the problem. They told us to point mail.salemradiology.com to this
other server, so that's what we did. If it forces them to write out
[EMAIL PROTECTED], that's their choice. Either way, however,
dnsreport.com should have seen that there is *some* mx record. Why doesn't
it see this mx record?
Thanks,
Ben

You have setup your mx record on the mail.salemradiology.com domain.
You would be routing mail for [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You should use the base domain when setting up mx records...
Instead of:
mail.salemradiology.com. 12H IN MX 10 smtpgw.slmdc.pnwtg.com.
Use:
salemradiology.com. 12H IN MX 10 smtpgw.slmdc.pnwtg.com.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Shaun

Hi,
We have a strange problem, that's slightly off-topic. Although we
normally host our own email domains, we have a few domains where they do
it themselves and we just set the MX record pointing to them. The
problem we have right now is one domain that has an MX record, and yet
somehow that record isn't seen. I'm sure it's just my confusion, so
could someone straighten me out.
The domain name is salemradiology.com, and the host name
mail.salemradiology.com has an MX record that points to
smtpgw.slmdc.pnwtg.com. You can confirm this by going to dnsstuff.com
and explicitly checking for the MX record for this host name. However,
if you go to dnsreport.com for the domain name, it will tell you that it
cannot find an MX record.
So what am I missing?
Thanks,
Ben
