Non-authoritative answer:
mtco.net preference = 30, mail exchanger = ns2.mtco.com
mtco.net preference = 20, mail exchanger = bogus.mtco.com
Authoritative answers can be found from:
mtco.net nameserver = ns2.mtco.com
mtco.net nameserver = ns.mtco.com
ns2.mtco.com internet address = 207.179.200.10
ns.mtco.com internet address = 207.179.200.2

*** ns2.mtco.com can't find bogus.mtco.com: Non-existent host/domain
so it seems there is a problem with your dns
i can't seem to resolve the bogus.mtco.com
hmm just noticed your pinging to bogus.mtco.net and not to
bogus.mtco.com as in the mx record
