Hi-
I'm wondering why my MX entry doesn't seem to be working for
trendnetworks.com. If I go to www.dnsreport.com it says that I don't
have an MX record. Here is my zone file, can anyone help? Thanks!


;
; Database file trendnetworks.com.dns for trendnetworks.com zone.
; Zone version: 17
;

@ IN SOA
pangaea-dc1.pangaea-w2k3.pangeasystems.net.

When you created the MX record you did not leave the field labeled "host or
domain" blank. You typed mail into that field so the MX record is at
mail.trendworks.com. Recreate the record and leave that field blank.

I see what my problem was now, I was creating a MX record for
mail.trendnetworks.com not for trendnetworks.com. Thanks for the help!
