exim 1.62 reports
x@??? is undeliverable:
all relevant MX records point to non-existent hosts
nslookup -type=mx lists.boingo.com
Server: harborside.com
Address: 204.214.110.225
Non-authoritative answer:
lists.boingo.com preference = 50, mail exchanger = 206.159.213.31
Authoritative answers can be found from:
BOINGO.com nameserver = NS29.PAIR.com
BOINGO.com nameserver = NS0.NS0.com
NS29.PAIR.com internet address = 209.68.1.67
NS0.NS0.com internet address = 209.197.64.1
