550 not local host move-to-nyack.com, not a gateway



I have put the following into a hosts file:

65.213.46.212 move-to-nyack.com

65.213.42.221 mail.move-to-nyack.com

Which I thought would try both the primary and secondary mx servers.

hosts file definds the A and PTR records for those IPs and hostnames, has nothing to do with MX records.


When I do an MX look up I do get a response on my server. Any ideas?

you're missing an MX record for the mail node, and your SOA record is broken because move-to-nyack.com is not primary NS for move-to-nyack.com zone, and you're missing a trailing root dot:


# dig mail.move-to-nyack.com mx

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> mail.move-to-nyack.com mx
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

The mx's for mtn are:


# dig @ns.cisdata.net. move-to-nyack.com mx
