Dear responders, thanks to all for you suggestions. I may be permitted to give you some details about my environment here. The server I am using has come with pre-loaded Plesk 7.5. then I didn't have any such problem like missing MX etc. As the particular version of plesk didn't allow using cyrus I uninstalled the plek from my system and now I am facing all this problem. So could some one kindly suggest any such web based tool to manage my own DNS etc ? thanks for knowledge sharing. > > > > On 4/19/07, JOYDEEP <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: >> Dear list, >> >> I have installed cyrus - imap on a remote hired server. the domain of >> the server is dedicated.hosteurope.de >> but I can't get any mail in the cyrus mailboxes. >> I use dnsstuff to query the dedicated.hosteurope.de and find as >> >> ------------------------------------------------------ >> >> Getting MX record for dedicated.hosteurope.de (from local DNS server, >> may be cached)... >> There is no MX record for dedicated.hosteurope.de!
