Hi all,


i have been having issues lately with the MX record setup on one of my local name servers.
i
added a new entry for a new mail server that i had just setup for our
internal office, however the setting don't seem to be taking effect.
when i query the name server for the MX records, it returns a no answer.

I hope some one could help me debug this problem.
