The appropriate records (MX and a corresponding A record) do exist in the
nekatech.net. zone, as evidenced by the fact that I can look them up from
here. The problem is that your SIMS server can't (or couldn't) find them.
Either there's some problem with the name servers that your SIMS uses to
resolve queries or there was a temporary problem with the nekatech.net.
zone that has since been fixed. I'd start by checking to see if you can
look up the MX from the machine your SIMS is running on (Whatroute is a
good DNS look-up tool for MacOS 8/9 if you don't already have one).
