ok, and having no A for the domain isn't 'broken'... Some folks have taken
to pointing "domain.co.uk" (or "domain.com|net|org") to their webserver
isntead of mailserver (mx which might be several machines) so it can be
confusing, BUT there is an MX for this domain, so email should flow
properly. Mail is stuck in your mail queue or what other symptoms are you
noticing?
