That said, is it necessary that I contact them about this, or is it an internal issue with SIMS?SIMS is trying to send a message to two addresses (santes and tball) at nekatech.net, but can't find an MX to send to. This is a DNS problem. (An MX query from my machine here returns ex-neka.nekatech.net. which, in turn, resolves to 63.168.156.20)
I guess I was thinking from what it sounded like in your reply that it was a problem with the MX (or lack of) record for their domain. Is this just an instance where whatever DNS server that points to their domain doesn't have an associated MX record for it?
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).
I checked that and it came back with nameservers from a SprintLink.net network, which was confirmed by doing a lookup on the IP you resolved above.
So what should I lookup?
