Hi NG,

hope this is the right group to solve my prob. If not, please let me know
(and maybe tell me where i'm in right place).

My simple question is: Who to find a mail server for a specific domain??
A simple way would be to act like nslookup. Just connect to specific DNS
Server (e.g. lserver m.root-servers.net) and ask for all mx entries of a
specific domain (e.g. ls -t mx hotmail.com). But this will always result in
a 'Query refused' message. So how know all these mail servers out there to
which server they have to deliver their mails of a specifc domain??

If anyone has a tip for me, i would be glad.

Best regards,
Oliver Muenchow
