DNS problem

I am running DNS on Win2003 Server. I have several different domains I
am hosting web and email for. For some reason, recently, one of my
clients mentioned they're not getting any email. I tried to send a
email to them internally, and they got it fine. If I try from hotmail
or yahoo, I get a message saying the domain doesn't exist.

If I do a tracert to mail.zehr-mfg.com I do get a response. Why would
it be that if there is a record entry for mail in their DNS settings
that tracert notices, that I can't send them mail.

I can also send mail to myself at the same DNS server, different domain,
and that goes through just fine.

Is zehr-mfg.com the actual domain name?
There is no MX record or A record for this domain.

What you need is an MX record for this domain with mail.computicle.com
listed as the mail server. Using the DNS Management console, open the
zehr-mfg.com zone, right click in the zone, select new mail exchanger, leave
the "Host or domain" field blank and put in mail.computicle.com as the mail
server.
 
I'm pretty sure there is a A record for this domain, but I will try
adding a MX record.

Thanks!
