no MX for cdnet.com.mx, and no A for cdnet.com.mx.

>but if you send it to user@dns.cdnet.com.mx it arrives fine.

there is an A record for that one, so the sending MTA's have an ip on which to try to dump your mail:

# dig dns.cdnet.com.mx a

; <<>> DiG 8.3 <<>> dns.cdnet.com.mx a ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: NOERROR, id: 4 ;; flags: qr rd ra; QUERY: 1, ANSWER: 1, AUTHORITY: 1, ADDITIONAL: 1 ;; QUERY SECTION: ;; dns.cdnet.com.mx, type = A, class = IN

you haven't added enough, yet.

1. As I pointed out in the other msg replying to Phil's "you've got no MX", you also don't have an A record for cdnet.com.mx, and that's what's killing your delivery, after the sender MTA's cant' find your MX.

so, add an MX record, and A record, and you'll be ok.

2. Also restrict zone transfer on your DNS so you won't get spoofed.

When will you have my dedicated server ready? :)))
