We're bouncing email to houston.rr.com due to the MX being set to localhost.

houston.rr.com mail is handled by 10 localhost.

Setting the MX to 127.0.0.1 seems like an odd way to handle the switch.

houston.rr.com, amongst other domains, went away as part of the adelphia /
comcast / roadrunner customer swap.

I tend to agree about the MX-localhost thing (MX 0 . would be better), but
the domain is dead, jim, as far as email is concerned.
