I am not real familiar with TelNet so I followed your input as best I could:
this is a copy of the results:

C:\Documents and Settings\PaulP>nslookup
Default Server: outer.heartlandgroup.local
Address: 192.168.16.2

> set type=mx
> domain.com
Server: outer.heartlandgroup.local
Address: 192.168.16.2

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

mail.domain.com internet address = 127.0.0.1
> heartlandgroup.com
Server: outer.heartlandgroup.local
Address: 192.168.16.2

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

heartlandgroup.com nameserver = ns1.readyhosting.com
heartlandgroup.com nameserver = ns2.readyhosting.com
mail.heartlandgroup.com internet address = 63.99.224.7
> mail.rotarylift.com 25
Server: [25]
Address: 0.0.0.25

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Request to 25 timed-out

Sorry but this is a little over my head but I am trying to learn as fast as
I can. Their domain is a valid listing

Thanks for your help
