This is just about the quickest turnaround I've ever had.

It appears the problem is on their side, not mine. dig
tell us that. According to Reto Lichtensteiger

% dig mx cms.ca

; <<>> DiG 2.2 <<>> mx cms.ca
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NXDOMAIN, id: 6
;; flags: qr aa rd ra; Ques: 1, Ans: 0, Auth: 1, Addit: 0
                       ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
;; QUESTIONS:
;; cms.ca, type = MX, class = IN

;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
ca. 43200 SOA relay.cdnnet.ca. hostmaster.relay.cdnnet.ca. (
                        199707180 ; serial
                        21600 ; refresh (6 hours)
                        900 ; retry (15 mins)
                        604800 ; expire (7 days)
                        43200 ) ; minimum (12 hours)

There is a "Start of Authority" record for the cms.ca domain, but they
haven't defined any MX (Mail eXchanger) -or- A records for the domain, so
there's no way to deliver mail to that domain.

Thanks a lot to
