getting my own IP back

[Kevin Darcy]

Well, barnlea.com looks somewhat reasonable, except that a couple of the 
MX targets aren't dot-terminated. Also, you shouldn't use a wildcard MX 
unless you *fully* understand what it does to your MTA's routing and 
addressing logic. Wildcard MX'es can have surprising side effects.

What does a bad "dig" response look like?

                                                                        
                                    - Kevin
