authoritative records for MX records

[Tan Chun Han/ITNOC/PBB/PBBG]

I've checked with the owner of the domain, they said that their firewall
had blocked the additional data. i've also tested sending them emails
via a webmail account, which works.

Anyway i can tweak my Bind / Sendmail?

regards

If the domain doesn't belong to you, you shouldn't add any records in the
domain to your server.  You should notify the owner of the domain that they
have configured it incorrectly, and they should change the MX record to
point to mars.sesb.com.my instead of mail.sesb.com.my.
