if all is working fine (mail.mydomain.com is you correct DNS resolver address) following command nslookup -q=mx google.com mail.mydomain.com should return something like this Server: mail.mydomain.com Address: ip.add.re.ss Non-authoritative answer: google.com MX preference = 50, mail exchanger = alt4.aspmx.l.google.com google.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = aspmx.l.google.com google.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = alt1.aspmx.l.google.com google.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = alt2.aspmx.l.google.com google.com MX preference = 40, mail exchanger = alt3.aspmx.l.google.com google.com nameserver = ns1.google.com google.com nameserver = ns2.google.com google.com nameserver = ns3.google.com google.com nameserver = ns4.google.com --- I think you need to look at your TCP/IP settings and read what is the IP of primary/secondary DNS server you are using...
