 |
|
I have tried to search board on MX but returns nada, possibly becasue it's only 2 chars, anyhow.
I can't get mail delivered to my domain, setup according to the VMHG on site, the problem seam to be with my domain though and the mx record as when I use a tool to make a mx check on the address 'josch@posthost.biz' it retuns | Code: | Checking: josch@posthost.biz
Format Test: Passed
Online Host verification Test ...
MX Record for: josch@posthost.biz
Unable to determine MX Host for posthost.biz
Bad DNS Response - Make sure you have a valid DNS Server configuration |
This is my zone file | Code: | $ttl 38400
posthost.biz. IN SOA merc.astrocalc.net. hostmaster (
2003043002
10800
3600
604800
38400 )
posthost.biz. IN NS merc.astrocalc.net.
IN NS ns1.astrocalc.net.
cms.posthost.biz. A 195.128.199.28
www.posthost.biz. CNAME cms.posthost.biz.
mail.posthost.biz. CNAME cms.posthost.biz.
posthost.biz. MX 10 cms.posthost.biz. |
I can't see what's wrong with it? also a dig looks fine to me | Code: | ns1 root # dig posthost.biz mx

not
found

a whois query shows the folllowing info:
| Code: | Domain Name: POSTHOST.BIZ
Domain ID: D2067173-BIZ
Sponsoring Registrar: EASYSPACE LTD.
Domain Status: inactive
Interesting: -> ^^^^^^
<snip other data>
Name Server: MERC.ASTROCALC.NET
Created by Registrar: EASYSPACE LTD.
Last Updated by Registrar: EASYSPACE LTD.
Domain Registration Date: Wed Dec 12 02:13:12 GMT 2001
Domain Expiration Date: Thu Dec 11 23:59:59 GMT 2003
Domain Last Updated Date: Thu Apr 24 23:28:45 GMT 2003
</snip> |
The posthost.biz domain simply is not delegated, only merc.astrocalc.net (nameserver) responds with cms.posthost.biz as its primary (and only) MX:
| Code: | /usr/local/bin/dig MX posthost.biz @merc.astrocalc.net
; <<>> DiG 9.2.2rc1 <<>> MX posthost.biz @merc.astrocalc.net
;; global options: printcmd

;; QUESTION SECTION:
;posthost.biz. IN MX
;; ANSWER SECTION:
posthost.biz. 38400 IN MX 10 cms.posthost.biz. |

Hmmm,
thanks for pointing this out to me guess I need to have a word with easyspace and ask why they sell me a domain and then deactivate it... maybe it's due to me removing one of the ns...
