That gives:

dig -t MX ntlworld.com

; <<>> DiG 9.3.1 <<>> -t MX ntlworld.com

... So they've still mucked up on their web page instructions!


And nope... That still doesn't work for Postfix:

Setting:
relayhost = ntlworld.com

gives:

relay=none, delay=1, status=deferred ([smtpin.ntlworld.com]: Name or 
service not known)


relayhost = 81.103.221.11
works fine :-)


???
