Sorry- never changed outlook's default. I'm not hosting this domain. So I don't think that I'm missing anything. When I had a similar problem with techie.com, putting the entry in a hosts file did allow mail to get through to the domain in question. I thought that was a standard quick and dirty method of getting mail through.
So the problem is with the ISP hosting move-to-nyack.com? What should I tell them to correct?

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: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 2 ;; flags: qr aa rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 0, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 0 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; mail.move-to-nyack.com, type = MX, class = IN ;; AUTHORITY SECTION: move-to-nyack.com. 3H IN SOA move-to-nyack.com. root.move-to-nyack.com.move-to-nyack.com.
