Len,

>2. Also restrict zone transfer on your DNS so you won't get spoofed.

I've never heard of DNS spoofing before, can you explain? If this is just
people replicating my DNS servers, why is that a bad thing? And why would
anyone want to do that?

I hate announcing things like this on the list...

no MX for cdnet.com.mx, and no A for cdnet.com.mx.

>but if you send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] it arrives fine.

there is an A record for that one, so the sending MTA's have an ip on
which to try to dump your mail:

# dig dns.cdnet.com.mx a

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> dns.cdnet.com.mx a

1. As I pointed out in the other msg replying to Phil's "you've got
no MX", you also don't have an A record for cdnet.com.mx, and that's
what's killing your delivery, after the sender MTA's cant' find your MX.

so, add an MX record, and A record, and you'll be ok.

2. Also restrict zone transfer on your DNS so you won't get spoofed.

When will you have my dedicated server ready?  :)))
