DNS MX Record

[M.Ashcraft at epixtech.com]

DNS looks fine from here.  You do not need an MX record for svy01ad00 but 
it is not causing problems. 

DNS queries to your server took over 8 seconds.  If this is typical, it 
could be your problem.  yahoo or others could cache the negative response. 
 

Have you checked to make sure your firewall is not blocking incomming mail 
to this host?  I can not communicate with svy01ad00 via smtp from here. It 
could also be a mail server configuration issue. 

If you try these and still think its BIND post your config files.

Good Luck,

Mike

Hi,

We own the following domain: intertrade.com.  I'm trying to set up a 
test email server with the following name: svy01ad00.intertrade.com.  I 
am able to send mail internally by typing in 
user at svy01ad00.intertrade.com but am unable to send mail externally 
(i.e. Yahoo).  I have the following entries in DNS:

svy01ad00                                IN              A   x.x.x.x
                                                 IN              MX  10 
svy01ad00.intertrade.com.

Yahoo returns a message that saids "Sorry, I couldn't find any host 
named svy01ad00.intertrade.com. (#5.1.2)."  This message comes after a 
couple of days.  I've gone thru the DNS and Bind book for help and the 
DNS entry looks ok.  Can anyone help?

Thanks in advance,
