My Qmail is not happy with the domain: ftae.com And I was hoping that
someone on the list can help me identify. I've been running qmail for
years with few issues. Here is what I see in the logs:

Mar  7 21:34:59 mail qmail: 1299551699.837829 starting delivery 19: msg
23365568 to remote [email protected]
Mar  7 21:34:59 mail qmail: 1299551699.837919 status: local 0/10 remote 5/20
Mar  7 21:34:59 mail qmail: 1299551699.915753 delivery 19: failure:
Sorry,_I_couldn't_find_a_mail_exchanger_or_IP_address.
_(#5.4.4)/

Their DNS appears valid, but I'm no dns expert. I validated them with this
site: http://www.dnsvalidation.com/ and it seemed ok. I tried dig, and
compared with my own server:

The biggest difference I see is their MX is set to 10 instead of 1 - is it
possible that could be making qmail choke?

Thanks for any help,

Russ
