hi,
first off, let me just say that the registrar was transferred last week and
the dns was setup prior to the transfer and waiting for that to go through.
i believe everything has propagated properly, but don't really have any way
of knowing for sure.
that being said, i've got a problem with mail connections from yahoo going
to the wrong box. it appears as if they're completely ignoring the mx
records and attempting the main domain records instead. here's a copy and
paste from the dns panel:
Current Records:
Host Type Value MX TTL
*.adultdvdtoday.com CNAME thor.jeffhowden.com N/A 3600
adultdvdtoday.com CNAME thor.jeffhowden.com N/A 3600
adultdvdtoday.com MX hm-mx1.solinus.com 5 3600
adultdvdtoday.com MX hm-mx2.solinus.com 10 3600
pop.adultdvdtoday.com CNAME pop1425.hostmail.com N/A 3600
wap.webmail.adultdvdtoday.com CNAME websw1.solinus.com N/A 3600
webmail.adultdvdtoday.com CNAME websw1.solinus.com N/A 3600
when i send a test message from yahoo, i eventually get back the following:
<jeff at adultdvdtoday.com>:
Connected to 207.189.150.130 but connection died. (#4.4.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the
queue too long.
unfortunately i know enough about dns to be dangerous, but not enough to
know what's wrong with this setup. anyone have any ideas?
thanks,
