Hi HP3000-L,

I'm hoping to reach Rollie Amurao with this message because his e-mail address
is generating lots of repeated warning messages on invent3k:

Jul  2 09:31:22 localhost named[36372583]: "softkeys-csi.com IN MX" points to a
CNAME (mxmail.register.com)

This first message is saying that the MX record for softkeys-csi.com is screwed
up.  MX records are supposed to point to A records, but in this case it's
pointing to a CNAME (i.e. hostname alias) record.  To be compliant with DNS and
e-mail standards the MX must be changed to point to an A record.

Jul  2 09:34:02 localhost sendmail[813760559]: GAA181272754:
to=rollie.amurao@so
ftkeys-csi.com, delay=03:21:09, xdelay=00:02:40, mailer=esmtp,
relay=mxmail.regi
ster.com. [209.228.32.104], stat=Deferred: Connection timed out with
mxmail.regi
ster.com.

Even though we try the CNAME host pointed to by the MX, it never responds.
