OK, I'm confused.

I had an email problem with a particularly flaky web host. Email sent to
any forwarder never arrived with no bounce. So, I moved the domain name in
question to a new web host and started using eNom's (big domain registrar)
email forwarding.

The odd thing is, we're still having the occasional message completely
disappear, while others take several hours to arrive. I've also heard
reports of people receiving bounces, but haven't found anyone yet that could
forward me one. I have many domains using eNom's forwarding service and
this is the only one with a problem.

The only thing I can think of is some big ISP somewhere has cached the DNS
record for the domain and is trying to send mail to the old server. Other
than that, I am mystified.

Can anyone tell me what their ISP's DNS server shows as an MX record for
pearltrading.ca ?

Thanks
HC

The DNS flip was last week by the way.

Although there's been excellent advice to you earlier in this thread,
I haven't noticed anyone actually answering this question.

eforwardct.name-services.com. [Preference = 5]
eforward1.name-services.com. [Preference = 10]

TTL on each of these is half an hour.

Thanks, at least that's as it should be.
