Hi Dave,

Here is my 'db.ectu' :

MX      10      dnspri1.ectu.com.
mail    IN      A       203.126.49.162


is that settings correct? If wrong, what should be the correct one?

I tried to telnetting in and it seems ok :

[root@java hanlim]# telnet dnspri1.ectu.com 25
Trying 203.126.49.162...
Connected to dnspri1.ectu.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220-Welcome! This system does not accept Unsolicited Commercial Email
220-and will blacklist offenders through RBL and our internal list.
220-Have a nice day!
220-
220 ectu.com ESMTP Exim 3.33 Mon, 25 Feb 2002 13:41:19 -0500


Thanks,
Han Lin

Well, I'm not sure what else is going on, but the lone MX record for
'ectu.com' seems to point at a non-existant host, so you might want to
fix that first.

$ dig ectu.com mx

;; ANSWER SECTION:
ectu.com. 3600 IN MX 10 dnspri1.ectu.com.

$ telnet dnspri1.ectu.com 25
telnet: dnspri1.ectu.com: Name or service not known
dnspri1.ectu.com: Unknown host

$ dig dnspri1.ectu.com any

; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> dnspri1.ectu.com any any
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 29846
