I have a client that is trying to send mail to a domain.
Our server is trying to his the A record for that domain and not the
MX record.
Any idea why and now to fix this?
Here is the info about the domain from DNSSTUFF
3partners.biz. NS IN 7200 DNS2.DEDICATEDNS.COM.
3partners.biz. A IN 3600 206.138.231.16
3partners.biz. MX IN 3600 66.196.218.178. [Preference = 1]
The RDATA (record data) field of an MX record must be a (canonical)
domain name, not a numeric IP.
Imail should anyway forgive this too-common screw-up and attempt
delivery to 66.196.218.178, which is how postfix handles it.
