Re: Exchange Server DNS

Ace seems like you are at the summit as I am , by looking at the NSlookup
output (-:
I would love to say hi to you
here I ran again the same thing you did, below is the output and yes MX
record is there....

set q=all
millbrookkitchens.com
Server: tk2d.dns.msft.net
Address: 207.68.169.104

millbrookkitchens.com
primary name server = adns.cs.siteprotect.com
responsible mail addr = hostmaster.siteprotect.com
serial = 2009022320
refresh = 28800 (8 hours)
retry = 7200 (2 hours)
expire = 604800 (7 days)
default TTL = 300 (5 mins)
millbrookkitchens.com internet address = 64.41.122.17
millbrookkitchens.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
mail.millbrookkitchens.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = adns.cs.siteprotect.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = bdns.cs.siteprotect.com
mail.millbrookkitchens.com internet address = 65.219.211.205
server 4.2.2.1
Default Server: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.1

set q=all
millbrookkitchens.com
Server: vnsc-pri.sys.gtei.net
Address: 4.2.2.1

Non-authoritative answer:
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = bdns.cs.siteprotect.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = adns.cs.siteprotect.com

so I assume not the poster problems is resolved , assuming the firewall ans
mail server is configured correct

port 25 traffic is eble to pass the firewall and get to the mail servers

thanks for the updates, same query did not work for me the other day
best

This is how things work in general,

You need to have Public IP address MX record pointing back to your router
from there; it is pointing your exchange server on port 25.( assuming you
have a firewall)
So your authoritative SMTP domain name appears to be
“millbrookkitchens.com”
running nslookup shows you don’t have MX record for your mail server

so if I want to send you e-mail, I would go to internet and ask my
configured DNS servers "who is responsible for millbrookkitchens.com, or
who
the authoritative mail server for SMTP domain "millbrookkitchens.com" and
I
would get no answer as it is, since you have no **MX** record for your
mail
server


Call your new ISP and tell them you need MX record and have the public IP
point to your exchange server port 25.

Hello Oz,

You said his domain has no MX record configured. It appears the DNS server
you are using, tk2d.dns.msft.net, 207.68.169.104, is missing data in the
nslookup query results providing incorrect data. Not sure why it would do
that.

I use 4.2.2.2. When I run an nslookup for All records, or even just for the
MX record, it shows me the MX record, as can be seen in the following:

Non-authoritative answer:
millbrookkitchens.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
mail.millbrookkitchens.com

millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = adns.cs.siteprotect.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = bdns.cs.siteprotect.com
mail.millbrookkitchens.com internet address = 65.219.211.205

========================

I also ran it as you did, and it showed me an MX record as well:

C:\>nslookup -type=all millbrookkitchens.com
Server: london.domain.com
Address: 192.168.36.60

Non-authoritative answer:
millbrookkitchens.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
mail.millbrookkitchens.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = adns.cs.siteprotect.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = bdns.cs.siteprotect.com

millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = bdns.cs.siteprotect.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = adns.cs.siteprotect.com
mail.millbrookkitchens.com internet address = 65.219.211.205

=========================

So I tried it with the DNS server you were using, with set q=all, and I
found it does not resolve the MX record. I wonder why? Then I set q=mx to
see just the MX, then it worked. I wonder why that server is not resolving
the MX when setting the query to ALL?

The following are my results using the DNS server you are using.

set q=all
millbrookkitchens.com
Server: tk2d.dns.msft.net
Address: 207.68.169.104

Non-authoritative answer:
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = adns.cs.siteprotect.com
millbrookkitchens.com nameserver = bdns.cs.siteprotect.com

adns.cs.siteprotect.com internet address = 64.26.28.8
bdns.cs.siteprotect.com internet address = 64.41.123.9
set q=mx
millbrookkitchens.com
Server: tk2d.dns.msft.net
Address: 207.68.169.104

Non-authoritative answer:
millbrookkitchens.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger =
mail.millbrookkitch
ens.com

mail.millbrookkitchens.com internet address = 65.219.211.205
