From nslookup.

Server:  bilver.wjv.com
Address:  192.168.95.95

boe.ca.gov	preference = 5, mail exchanger = cboegwy01.boe.ca.gov
boe.ca.gov	nameserver = media.boe.ca.gov
boe.ca.gov	nameserver = nwmgmt.boe.ca.gov
cboegwy01.boe.ca.gov	internet address = 168.71.115.200
media.boe.ca.gov	internet address = 168.71.5.200
nwmgmt.boe.ca.gov	internet address = 168.71.5.202


Server:  bilver.wjv.com
Address:  192.168.95.95

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    cboegwy01.boe.ca.gov
Address:  168.71.115.200

So the MX for boe.ca.gov ic cboegwy01.boe.ca.gov according to
my links.
