One oddball DNS question....

[Dave Mayer]

Everything ELSE is working fine except... There is a single domain that I
can't send mail to.

The particulars:

I host their website at my location on W2K Advanced Server (member server).
I also have a W2K Exchange Enterprise server there. Mail and WWW currently
point to 69.105.106.58. On an outside DNS server, their mail points to
mail-01.name-services.com.

The only entries in my DNS (W2K Server - PDC - Active Directory) point to
WWW and FTP.

Can anyone guide me to what I'd have to do in my DNS (or mail server?) to
avoid this message?

A configuration error in the e-mail system caused the message to bounce
between two servers or to be forwarded between two recipients. Contact your
administrator.

There is not much info to go on here. First, the error is an Exchange error,
not a DNS one. From what I read, it looks like (e-mail address removed) is a
contact being forward to somewhere else, but that somewhere else is then
configured to forward to (e-mail address removed). This would create a loop and
any good mail server will catch it and throw the error you are reporting. I
sent an email to (e-mail address removed) and it got handed off to
mail-01.name-services.com without a problem, and this is why I'm thinking
it's a localized mail server config problem.

Another possibility is described here:

On a side note, I see that the MX for name-services.com is
mail.name-services.com, but according to dns1.name-services.com, there is no
A record for mail.name-services.com
