Thanks Gerald, and I do.

dig is not a very good tool to use for MX, or never has been to me. I think that part is
still under development.

Try this at a command or unix prompt.

c:\>nslookup
Default Server:  outgoing.nsa.lab
Address:  10.0.0.5

> set type=mx
> zio.com
Server:  outgoing.nsa.lab
Address:  10.0.0.5

zio.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = ibm1.zio.com
ibm1.zio.com    internet address = 216.207.242.153


And yes, zio.com is the mail address i use to test this with, and is the BQ server I am
having trouble with.
