Alright... Ace Fekay helped me with an email problem I had.
My DNS server wouldn't resolve the MX records for yahoo.com.
Disabled EDNS like Ace suggested and now it works!! :)

There is only one little strange thing still going on with it though... !

The TTL for yahoo's MX record is about 2 hours. If after that I try to use
NSLOOKUP, SET TYPE=MX, yahoo.com, it fails again.. !
The first time that is.. if I try again a second time, it'll resolve it.
You can recreate the problem by going in to the DNS console and delete yahoo
from the cache...

Why is it so slow to resolve it and does this happen to others or only me?!
I've tried a bunch of other domains, but can't find anyone else where this
happens..

Thanks for any help!
