Hi,
We host a website for a client who runs their own mailserver at their premises, so we have adjusted the MX record accordingly to direct incoming mail directly to their server. However, I notice in our mailserver logs that we are rejecting mail for their domain. The mail shouldn't be coming near our MX though. It's being rejected because the user accounts for the emails do not exist on our server (because they were created on the companies local server).
Here is a copy of an nslookup on the domain:
C:\>nslookup
Default Server:
Address:> server
Default Server: serverpoint.com
Address:> set q=all
>
Server: serverpoint.com
Address:MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
.uk
text ="v=spf1 a mx ip4: ?all"
internet address =
primary name server =
responsible mail addr =
serial = 2008060400
refresh = 14400 (4 hours)
retry = 3600 (1 hour)
expire = 1209600 (14 days)
default TTL = 86400 (1 day)
nameserver =
nameserver =
internet address =
internet address =
internet address =
>
When I do a perform a mailserver test using an online tool eg: http://mxtoolbox.com/ and I test our customers domain () into their diagnostic tool, it connects to our mailserver at instead of our customers at
The DNS information for is below:
ftp A
localhost A 127.0.0.1
mail A
pop A
solentmotorgroup.co.uk. A
www A
A
solentmotorgroup.co.uk. NS ns1.snowweb.info.
solentmotorgroup.co.uk. NS ns2.snowweb.info.
solent02.gotadsl.co.uk. MX 10
solentmotorgroup.co.uk. TXT "v=spf1 a mx ip4: ?all"
Does anyone have any suggestions please?
Thanks in advance.
