I'm moving my DNS services for twomuffins.com from everydns.net to
dreamhost.com. Before changing the registrar information from
ns[1-4].everydns.net to ns[1-3].dreamhost.com, I want to make sure the
MX records are working correctly to prevent mail delays/bounces.
twomuffins.com should have a single MX record for 0 odin.dempsky.org.
`host' implies that dreamhost.com is correctly setup:
$ host -t mx twomuffins.com ns1.dreamhost.com
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.dreamhost.com
Address: 66.33.206.206#53
Aliases:
twomuffins.com mail is handled by 0 odin.dempsky.org.
but `dnsq's output seems to imply otherwise:
$ dnsq mx twomuffins.com ns1.dreamhost.com
15 twomuffins.com:
106 bytes, 1+0+1+0 records, response, authoritative, noerror
query: 15 twomuffins.com
authority: twomuffins.com 14400 SOA ns1.dreamhost.com
hostmaster.dreamhost.com 2007013103 15675 1800 1814400 14400
I have this same output on two separate OpenBSD 4.0 machines and a
Debian GNU/Linux 3.1 machine (all on separate networks, using host
from BIND 9 and dnsq from djbdns 1.05).
Can anyone explain the discrepency to me?
Thanks.
P.S. For comparison, the output of the same two commands against
ns1.everydns.net are:
$ host -t mx twomuffins.com ns1.everydns.net
Using domain server:
Name: ns1.everydns.net
Address: 209.131.97.97#53
Aliases:
twomuffins.com mail is handled by 0 odin.dempsky.org.
and
$ dnsq mx twomuffins.com ns1.everydns.net
15 twomuffins.com:
228 bytes, 1+1+4+5 records, response, authoritative, noerror
query: 15 twomuffins.com
