Hi and thank you for your answer
I think I made a little mess with the things I've read. My domain is on
hostgator. when nslookuping
ns1979.hostgator.com I receive something about root.gator990.hostgator.com and
when I nslookup that server it
told me that it can't do that and instead it used my ISP dns server and gave me
the result as you wrote in your
reply. So now to really newbie questions:
1) Are the public dns servers so I can use them as a TargetHost no matter where
I run it from?
2) What does MX information give me? I was hoping I could approve an email
address I was given but apparently
this is not the case
Thanks
