Currently the lookup has got even more ugly: nslookup -q=mx libc.org returns: brightrain.aerifal.cx ... but when I try to do MX lookup for brightrain.aerifal.cx, I can't get any authoritative address, only for A records. Are you able to add also an MX entry for brightrain.aerifal.cx ? All the other domains I tried return an authoritative address for MX lookups too, not only for A record lookup. I searched a bit on the net, and may be this hits a qmail DNS lookup problem disused at different places. Looks like they are fighting which strategy is best for the lookups ... this is bad, but I can't do anything here. Harald
