Before the weekend I moved all of the HoF lists to iMS, the last step in a slow
and careful process. Now I'm seeing things that I had not seen before and want
to fix them. One of these things is missing MX records. about 40 members are
having their mail bounced due to "No MX defined for cfvelocity.com". Is there a
good public server I can point my main server to that should have these MX
records (if they exist)? Should I chalk it up to them just not existing rather
than assuming that the DNS server I'm using isn't seeing them?

P.S. I set the MX cache to 10000 in hopes of speeding up the server a bit. With
CF-Talk on it, it's running a LOT of mail.
On any server that does outbound mailing, I've put a dedicated caching resolver on the box. This relieves a lot of stress on the other nameservers. I also use a pretty high cache (16384) within iMS. If you trust your DNS servers then it's definitely a problem with the recipient domains. In any case, using a "public" DNS server, presumably off-network, will only slow mail delivery down so I'd suggest not doing that.
