9510.0. "Please help me with mailsetup" by OHFSS1::KANNAPAREDDY () Tue Apr 15 1997 15:03

    
    
    Greetings folks,
    	
    	I have this strange problem, I can send mail to "outside"
    	world and "inside" (all .dec.com) world. 
    	I can recive mail form all "*.dec.com" domains, but I 
    	cannot recieve any mail from the outside world? 
    	what I have done wrong. I am running DU V4.0B, on a
    	DEC 3000 workstation.
    
    	to be more precise:
    	
    	from my exchange account [email protected] 
    	to "[email protected]" ( The mail is recived)
    	from my ford account "[email protected]" to 
    	"[email protected]" is NOT received??
    	And I get mail back at "ford.com" saying 
    		"deferred: No route to host"?
    
    	So i thought it is "MX" record problem, but I think "MX"
    	records are there for my workstation "axp165". Here is a
    	listing of nslookup   session:
    
    	Thanks for any input . 
    
    	cheers
    	Mohan

    I think the message:
    
    *** No mail exchanger (MX) records available for axp165.det.dec.com
    
    Means that there are no MX records for axp165.det.dec.com. Without
    them, mail from outside dec.com will not find a path to
    axp165.det.dec.com. The MX records for det.dec.com only apply to mail
    sent to [email protected].
