That would be correct. No DNS server would "give" you an MX record of
its own accord.
even i have created one manually for my mailserver and
afterwords it points to "A" record of my mailserver
That's normally the way of it.
i think there is
some thing going in side my DNS below is the result of nslookup
Please don't use nslookup for DNS troubleshooting; it has serious
issues. Use either dig or host.
with
type=MX
primary name server = sr-dc.mydomain.com
responsible mail addr = hostmaster
serial = 2286
refresh = 900 (15 mins)
retry = 600 (10 mins)
expire = 86400 (1 day)
default TTL = 3600 (1 hour)
No, that's the SOA.
I suggest you consult the Microsoft documentation for help with their
implementation of DNS.
so instead of messing up with 2003 DNS is there anyway to make a cache
record just like we have /etc/hosts for "A" records.
No, that is not possible. However, it doesn't say anywhere that an MX
record is mandatory, or required.
Please see the list welcome message about how to effectively ask for help:
