I am confused even more now. At the site at http://www.dnsreport.com, I put in wwmp.net and it finds the mx records but when I put in
mail.wwmp.net it does not find the mx records.
Great! The DNSreport site is working. :)

If you read the page at http://www.DNSreport.com , you'll see 'For the DNS Report, all you need to do is enter the domain name you wish to have the report made for. You need to enter the domain name ("example.com"), not the host name ("www.example.com").' "mail.wwmp.net" is a host name.

The problem I am having is some mail users sign up for a mail list with their wwmp mail address and they get a message "not a valid address".
What is the *exact* message they get? What are the headers of the E-mail they get?

Do you think it is that there is no mx record for the mail.wwmp.net?
It's time to sit back and learn about DNS.

If people are sending mail to @wwmp.net, the host name mail.wwmp.net is irrelevant -- it doesn't need to exist.

The only time you need an MX record for mail.wwmp.net is if people send mail to @mail.wwmp.net.

Also I use mail software when I mail to my list. It has an email checker and when I run it with my own email ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) it
reports there is no mx record.
http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=wwmp.net&type=MX shows that you do have an MX record.
