Hmm, that shouldn't come as a surprise since it isn't even listed as an MX: [[email protected]:mail andy]$ dnsmx aol.com 15 mailin-01.mx.aol.com 15 mailin-02.mx.aol.com 15 mailin-03.mx.aol.com 15 mailin-04.mx.aol.com In addition, unless you have some special routes, I'm not even sure how you are getting anywhere with that name: [[email protected]:mail andy]$ dnsip air-yh04.mail.aol.com 172.18.147.41 Which is clearly a private class address as defined by RFC 1918. Probably a big no-no publishing private addresses in your public DNS, but this is AOL we're talking about, right? :-) Andy -- [-----------[system uptime]--------------------------------------------] 6:40pm up 42 days, 21:18, 4 users, load average: 1.14, 1.29, 1.20
