It's not allowed to use ip addresses in MX records, only hostnames, and postfix doesn't accept the ip address, sendmail does. jesper@freesbee$ host -t mx zuhause.mn.org zuhause.mn.org mail is handled (pri=100) by 205.215.217.178 zuhause.mn.org mail is handled (pri=150) by minuet.skypoint.net So change it to zuhause.mn.org. IN A 205.215.217.178 IN MX 100 zuhause.mn.org. IN MX 150 minuet.skypoint.net. /Jesper -- Jesper Skriver (JS4261-RIPE), Network manager Tele Danmark DataNet, IP section (AS3292) One Unix to rule them all, One Resolver to find them, One IP to bring them all and in the zone to bind them.
