# host mailgwo01.telemar.com.br
mailgwo01.telemar.com.br is an alias for
mailgwo01.informatica.telerj.net.br.
mailgwo01.informatica.telerj.net.br has address 200.222.3.157

# dig @marte.telemar.com.br. mailgwo01.telemar.com.br.

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;mailgwo01.telemar.com.br.      IN      A


;; ANSWER SECTION:
mailgwo01.telemar.com.br. 43200 IN      CNAME
mailgwo01.informatica.telerj.net.br.
mailgwo01.informatica.telerj.net.br. 43200 IN A 200.222.3.157



Point the MX to an A record; don't use a CNAME.
