MX Records

The last three lines of my records file looks like this:

mydomain.com. IN MX 10 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. mydomain.com. IN MX 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. mydomain.com. IN MX 30 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.

But when I do an mx lookup I find that it is coming back like this:

mydomain.com. IN MX 10 ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.mydomain.com mydomain.com. IN MX 20 ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM.mydomain.com mydomain.com. IN MX 30 ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM.mydomain.com

What can I do about this because it is obviously wrong?

Thanks for any help!<br><br>Post edited by: bradleyjond, at: 2008/07/09 03:17

Howdy,

First, make sure you've restarted your DNS server (ie, BIND).

If you have, does it look correct if you do the lookup from your own server?

Perhaps what you're seeing is because some other DNS server along the way (perhaps your ISP) cached the incorrect response you showed above -- and even though you've since fixed it, it could be cached for some time still at your ISP.
