A working nameserver...

# dig mx 1lwa.net

; <<>> DiG 9.2.3rc4 <<>> mx 1lwa.net
;; global options: printcmd
;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached

You might be getting an answer but it is not answering via normal means...

Another server of mine reported..

; <<>> DiG 9.2.1 <<>> 1lwa.net mx
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: REFUSED, id: 15740
;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 0, ADDITIONAL: 0

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;1lwa.net.                      IN      MX


Refused...
