[Cumbria] Which of you nice chaps is at bnfl?

Yep, looks like you may have a problem with DNS.

I done a dig from home and got this in the answer section:
wrax.co.uk.             34048   IN      A       62.69.78.1
wrax.co.uk.             37444   IN      NS      one.wrax.co.uk.
wrax.co.uk.             37444   IN      NS      half.wrax.co.uk.

As you can see no MX records.

However I took a look from one of my boxen that is down in London and got
this:
wrax.co.uk.             9h26m44s IN NS  one.wrax.co.uk.
wrax.co.uk.             9h26m44s IN NS  half.wrax.co.uk.
wrax.co.uk.             9h26m44s IN A   62.69.78.1
wrax.co.uk.             10h38m25s IN MX  10 mail7.wrax.co.uk.
wrax.co.uk.             10h38m25s IN MX  20 mail8.wrax.co.uk.
wrax.co.uk.             10h38m25s IN MX  30 mail13.wrax.co.uk.
wrax.co.uk.             10h38m25s IN MX  40 london.wrax.net.uk.

Whoo! MX records! (that happened to be from my mail server).

Done it from another boxen down London and got this the same as the first
one.

So your problem looks like a DNS one.

I could not get an answer from half.wrax.co.uk but I can get one from
one.wrax.co.uk (and get the correct information).

I'd take a look at your DNS servers and make sure they have the correct
information in the zones and make sure your slave DNS server is slaving
correctly.

BNFL's mail server has probably got a reply from a DNS server with the
incorrect zone information (IE no MX records).

Fix it up, get em to flush there DNS cache (if the run there own DNS
servers that is) and it should work fine.

Ah well, hope my blabbing helps.
