Yahoo reporting "No MX or A Records" and bouncing emails

A really good first step is to indicate what domain is
having problems, so people can double-check to
make sure there's nothing unusual or broken
seen from other parts of the network, and if
necessary, escalate the issues with private
contacts.

I'm assuming it's not for the domain you're
sending your email from, in this case; but
if that's a bad assumption, please let
me know.

Thanks!

Matt
