Hi,

dig -t A 99.140.153.78.rep.mailspike.net

This results in NXDMAIN, indicating that there is no current listing for 
the ip address. There is no requirement in DNS that says that 
'rep.mailspike.net' should be resolvable.

The mailspike nameservers are at:

dig -t NS mailspike.net

As to why the websites says it is listed, I don't know. Maybe the DNS 
zones are out of date, or the database is, or it's a split brain 
situation, or .... . Only the mailspike admins will know.

Kind regards,
Tom
