Troubleshooting a mail problem today I discovered that the MX record for the destination address has an underscore in it, something like that: acb_def.domain.org when I use dig it reports the IP for this weird hostname, but if I try to ping or telnet to it I get respectively: ping: cannot resolve abc_def.domain.org: Unknown server error abc.def.domain.org: Non-recoverable failure in name resolution ping and telnet is able to resolve the name on linux though. Do I have to contact those responsible for that domain and point them to the problem of is underscore allowed in zone file? thanks, slava To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
