DNS Problem

networking

Hi,

I have a little bit of problems recently and hope I can get some helps in the forum.

I have a domain abc.com registered with registerfly.com for several years. I have my dns hosted on zoneedit.com for a couple years and now since registerfly.com offers free dns hosting for domain, I've moved to registerfly.com's dns host a couple days ago.

And now problem happens… when I try to send email to my domain, I got a non routable address error. All my dns entries in registerfly's record are exactly the same as the one I had with zoneedit.

what could be wrong? How can I debug this? When I use dig to check the dns server for my domain, the registerfly's hosts does show up.

Thanks for any help.

Kevin

Are your MX settings ok ?

You can check with: dig host.com mx

Hi,

This is the output of my domain komy.net's record:

This is what's I have in registerfly and zoneedit before the move over. Thanks for your help.

I don't see what the problem is. In fact, earlier today I was able to send your domain mail (webmaster at komy.net), heh

PS: How do you like everyone.net ? Before I heard of linode.com, I was seriously considering them for mail hosting.

Thanks for the information. Sending email from outside to my domain works, just that when I tried to send email to my domain within my linode, it gave me an unroutable address.

Any ideas?

Everyone.net is ok for me so far… it allows me to give my friends free email account.

Thanks,

Kevin

Hi, Any one else can help me to resolve the problem. Email sent from within my Linode is still getting an unroutable address error, while email sent to this domain outside of my Linode works fine.

Thanks,

Kevin
