Getting MX record for hotmail.it (from local DNS server, may be cached)... Got it!

Host Preference IP(s) [Country]
mx3.hotmail.com. 5 65.54.244.72 [US]65.54.244.200 [US]65.54.245.72 [US]
mx2.hotmail.com. 5 65.54.244.40 [US]65.54.244.168 [US]65.54.245.40 [US]
mx1.hotmail.com. 5 65.54.244.8 [US]65.54.244.136 [US]65.54.245.8 [US]
mx4.hotmail.com. 5 65.54.244.104 [US]65.54.245.104 [US]65.54.244.232 [US][/b]

Yet, on my box when I try, I get

[root@www sysconfig]# dig mx hotmail.it

; <<>> DiG 9.2.4 <<>> mx hotmail.it
;; global options: printcmd
;; Got answer:
;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 22606

What to do?

Edit: Maybe it's a problem with your resolvers?

Yup - changed entries in resolv.conf and that did the trick -- first domain I've run into problems with (will have to 'dig' for more)

Thanks.
