when can I look up a domains MX Record?

dsmith

If you Win2K (or presumably NT or XP - dunno about 98/ME) open a command prompt (dos Box)

Type "nslookup"

then "set type=MX"

then the domain you want to know about...

e.g.

> set type=MX
> scoobynet.co.uk
Server: linux-router.das-home.freeserve.co.uk
Address: 172.27.1.254

Non-authoritative answer:
scoobynet.co.uk MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = smtp.esoftsolutions.co.uk
scoobynet.co.uk MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = relay-1.mail.griffin.net.uk


scoobynet.co.uk nameserver = auth1.ns.griffin.net.uk
scoobynet.co.uk nameserver = ns1.esoftsolutions.co.uk
ns1.esoftsolutions.co.uk internet address = 217.79.96.7
