authoritative records for MX records

[Luis Manuel Cova A.]

I Think the problem you have is that you pointed your MX record to a CNAME..
I did a dig sesb.com.my MX an a got the answer you told us about..

But then a did a dig.mail1.sesb.com.my and the answer was that it is a CNAME
for mars.sesb.com.my

Try putting in your nameserver your MX record pointing to mars.sesb.com.my
and if you want leave the CNAME for your personal use..
