keep getting bounces when sending to a particular domain, Robert May 26 19:25

I'm having problems sending to any email in the unumhumbrewing.com domain. I attached a sample of a bounced message. It only seems to be a problem when sending the email via sonic.net's SMTP mail servers. Not sure why. What can be done to diagnose and fix ...
Re: set-up for email for inmotionhosting.com (fwd), robert May 27 13:03

Thanks. I think I set up alpine so that you're all ready to go. Whenever you reply to a thread with a unumhumbrewing theme, it will ask you if you want to reply with your unumhumbrewing identity. Almost always, you're going to want to say "Yes".
Re: [Sonic #6410040] keep getting bounces when sending to a particular domain, Robert May 27 13:13

The email does contain unumhumbrewing.com as the destination. I included the original sent email, in addition to the bounce message again. See "send.eml" for the original message, and "dummy.eml" for the bounce (non delivery alert) message. Hopefully, that...

  It may be that the DNS records for unumhumbrewing.com are screwed up. Did Laura say whether she's still having problems with unumhumbrewing.com emails?
- Re: [Sonic #6410040] keep getting bounces when sending to a particular domain, Robert May 30 07:53
  
  I looked carefully at the DNS domain records. They all look fine. The only one weirdness is that the MX record's hostname has a leading underscore in the hostname. I'm thinking that that's what tripping up Sonic.NET's SMTP server. It may be looking for the...
Re: Host Needed for Happy Hour This Week (5/27) (fwd), robert May 27 19:07

It might be something wrong with the DNS set up for unumhumbrewing.com. I followed up further with sonic.net . I have my doubts that they can resolve the issue, however. Not sure why it works with Yahoo.

I wonder why people think that killing can be a solution ('tho, I do admit that there have been times when I've thought it being a solution). Maybe there need to be anti-killing classes/courses in school.
