I'm using a 3rd party email service. I'm supposed to make a MX change which I did in Configuration-Zone List-Host List-Update MX Record (Ensim). I left Mail Domain blank, Mail Server = sitemail.everyone.net, and left Delivery Precedence at 10. Well, it doesn't work: mail sent to name@beetown.com doesn't go to the 3rd party service.

When I SSH into Linux shell, it indicates that I got mail, which is strange. Am I missing something? These are my host names:

beetown.com Mail Exchanger (MX) sitemail.everyone.net [10]
beetown.com Name Server (NS) ensim.rackshack.net
beetown.com Address (A) 216.40.227.216
ftp.beetown.com Address (A) 216.40.227.216
mail.beetown.com Address (A) 216.40.227.216
www.beetown.com Address (A) 216.40.227.216

Is mail.beetown.com being there causing a problem?

How do I delete the mail that's been accumulating on my server?

You have beetown.com using RackShack's DNS servers. You'll either have to use RackShack's DNS Change Request Form or modify beetown.com to use your own DNS servers.

So that's why! Thanks!

I'm waiting for NS1, NS2.beetown.com to propagate. So I guess once I changed over, it should work. Thanks again.
