Server: UnKnown
Address: 10.0.0.1
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: eastran.com
Address: 202.103.134.199
eastran.com has an A (address) entry. This means that some mail relays (NOT
all...I don't know what the RFC's say about this but I just know some relays
do this some don't) will send mail to the machine with the above IP address.
But other relays will only send mail to the machine that is listed in the MX
record for your domain. This means, that in the zone file (presuming the DNS
server is BIND v8 or similar) you have to add a MX record for the zone. ie:
@ IN MX 202.103.134.199
Give that a go...give the DNS a day or so to refresh around the globe and
try again!
