- Hello:

- I am at my wit's end on this one and am hoping that someone
- can lend me some insight:
- 
- Some of the emails I send from a domain I own get this message in
- my mail log:
- 
- 451 4.1.8 Domain of sender address admin at spammilter.com does not resolve
- 
- This domain has been set up for a long time, but when I do this
- command on one of my linux servers:
- 
- dig mx spammilter.com
- 
- I get back no answers:

	Is /etc/resolv.conf set up correctly on that machine?

	Is the name server correctly configured on
206.123.64.245 (which is the host that dig is querying..)

	My guess is resolv.conf is pointing at 206.123.64.245,
who's DNS server might think it's configured for that domain,
but doesn't have zone information..
