Unrouteable Mail Domain

[McLauryEngineering]

Mail to/from the domain siouxcityengineering.com is bounced back to the sender when trying to communicate with a user on our domain (mclauryengineering.com).

 

Below is the error message we receive from TCH.

 

Thanks,

Steve

The mail server for the domain is set up incorrectly. Here is a test of the address:

 

 

Getting MX record for siouxcityengineering.com... Got it!

 

Host Preference IP(s) {Country} 216.203.100.222. 50 {Bogus MX record - 216.203.100.222. is supposed to be a hostname, not an IP!} --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

 

Step 1:  Try connecting to the following mailserver:

        {ERROR; a few mailservers will connect to 216.203.100.222., but they aren't supposed to}

 

Step 2:  If still unsuccessful, queue the E-mail for later delivery.

 

The MX is set up with an IP rather than a hostname so the message is bouncing. Tech support for the company hosting siouxcityengineering.com should be contacted.
