Rodgers Co., Inc. X-Mailer: Microsoft Internet E-mail/MAPI - 8.0.0.4211 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG My read of RFC-1033 says: FOO.COM. MX 10 RELAY.CS.NET. *.FOO.COM. MX 20 RELAY.CS.NET. should send mail for user@foo.com _AND_ user@host.foo.com to relay.cs.net? But 'dig mx host.foo.com' does _not_ show the MX record ('dig mx foo.com' does). (and mail is trying to go directly to host.foo.com, but is being blocked by the firewall). What am I missing?
