You are the man, I have no reason to disblieve you, BUT I'm afraid in this
case, atleast with SBS domains, you are wrong.
I did use the site you suggested. The one domain I added the MX record to a
day or so ago reported only one error which I believe reffers to the SBS
boxes single dns "server Local IP" server.
The other two domians reported red flags on "No MX Records or server found"
and some kind of "Glue Issues" but they have performed with local and
internet e-mail since thier inception.
I did find the ISP's PTR record on the correced domain.
Today I added the MX record to the other two domains
Thanks for your help.

Well, once again - no MX record - no incoming mail. There is just no way.
about it. So someone did create them. Did you check your domains at
www.dnsreport.com? What did the report show for the MX record? It would be a
good idea to check all your domains and fix the errors and warnings.
As to the PTR, you need to call your ISP and tell them to create a PTR
record for the IP address that points to the A record that you created at NS
( i.e. server1.mydomain.com).

I'm moving away from hosted enviornments. I have numerous domians
purchased
from the registrar and two dsl modems with numerous static IP's from the
ISP
I use.
No hosting services.
All of the SBS domains reside here. I pointed the static IP provided by
the
ISP using dns control panel at Network Solutions to the individual routers
for each SBS Box. I'm presuming this is the A record? I'm using the name
servers provided by the ISP when connecting to the internet using the SBS
wizard.
I have noticed that there is a section in the Network Solutions DNS
controll
panel called "Mail Servers", which I now presume is where you create the
MX
record, but until yesterday have not entered anything in it.
One of the SBS domains has been online for over 5 years without an MX
record, baring an occasional returned e-mail message it has worked
flawlessly.
I don't know who or what could have arranged an MX record without my
knowing
it given the above stated scenario.
So, given the above how would I arrange a PTR?
Thanks very much for your help,
Richard

If you don't have MX records for your domains you don't get mail -
period.
Maybe you don't know that they created them.
MX records are not named, they are pointers to existing A records. It is
up
to you how you name your A record (mail.yourdomain.com is an often used
standard but you also can use myserver.yourdomain.com or anything else).
PTR records have to be created by your ISP. The reverse lookup will
always
be directed to the owner of the IP block and not your registrar.
You can go to www.dnsreport.com to check your configuration. It will give
you all needed feedback on your domains.

I have three SBS domains (3 boxes) All have A records at the Registrar
that
point to the IP none have had mx records point to the A record and we
have
had few rejections, strange huh?
So I know what to name the MX for pop, "Mail.mydomian.com" does it
matter
what you call it for an exchange server? should I use the
"computername.mydomain.com"
or will "Mail.mydomian.com" work for the SBS exchange server?
I have the domain with a Registrar not ISP so does the PTR record get
placed
in the same fashion as the MX record?
Thanks for the help

You will not receive any email if you don't have the following records
at
you authoritative DNS (normally your registrar sometimes your ISP):
A record that points to your public IP address
MX record that points to your A record.
It is also advisable to make sure that your ISP creates a PTR record
for
your public IP. Otherwise your mail might be rejected by mailservers
that
check for PTR records.

I am set to recieve mail directly to the exchange server in my SBS
server
through DNS. Everything works as expected execpt there are a few
clients
that
get thier mail to us bounced back to them.
I have never entered an MX record anywhere. Did that ocur during
setup
in
the SBS or do I need to add an MX record at the registrar or in
exchange.
Thanks
Richard
