MX_NULL_WITH_OTHER_RECORDS

error

This domain publishes both a null MX and real mail exchanges, so whether a message is delivered depends on whose mail server is trying.

Something is wrong and mail or certificates are affected.

How we know

  • mx.test

    The same records are correct or broken depending on what the domain is for: nomail is a deliberate null MX, and the only difference between the passing and failing cases is what the caller says the domain does. Also carries the exchanges that cannot receive anything — an address written where a name belongs, an alias RFC 2181 forbids, a name with no address — plus an IPv6-only exchange, which is legitimate and would be failed by a check that reads a missing A record as a missing address.
