Bounced Mail :(

[Mathias Körber]

Alex,

please also note that your DNS below is different from the one
publically visible. None of the NS records match !

This is definitely a problem:
	a) what you set up on your host is not visible to others
	b) even your server might be looking at another copy of the zone (if your
		/etc/resolv.conf does not point to your own server)

You will need to fix that !

This is what I see for www0.com:

> dig www0.com a

; <<>> DiG 8.1 <<>> www0.com a
