<div>
here's how you check (for future reference :)<br />
<br />
on your pc, do start, run and type &quot;nslookup&quot;<br />
<br />
at the new prompt, type &quot;set q=mx&quot; and hit enter<br />
now, type the name of the domain - in this case gamail.com<br />
<br />
if one or more lines come back, they will be of the form &quot;mx preference xx, mail exchanger yy&quot;<br />
<br />
each yy is a mail server that can handle mail for that domain, in order by xx (lowest first)<br />
<br />
on rare occasions, you will find a server that can accept mail but doesn't have a mx record - those have an A or CNAME record. an A record is a straight address - so you should test if that address can accept mail; you can do this just by running telnet on port 25 (start&gt;&gt;run &quot;telnet &lt;ip address&gt; 25&quot;) and seeing if you get a 220 banner announcing there is a mail server there.<br />
<br />
a CNAME is a redirect - it says &quot;treat this domain the same as domain xxxx&quot; where xxxx is what you get back if you do &quot;set q=cname&quot; and then look up the domain.<br />
<br />
hope this helps :)

here's how you check (for future reference :)

on your pc, do start, run and type "nslookup"

at the new prompt, type "set q=mx" and hit enter
now, type the name of the domain - in this case gamail.com

if one or more lines come back, they will be of the form "mx preference xx, mail exchanger yy"

each yy is a mail server that can handle mail for that domain, in order by xx (lowest first)

on rare occasions, you will find a server that can accept mail but doesn't have a mx record - those have an A or CNAME record. an A record is a straight address - so you should test if that address can accept mail; you can do this just by running telnet on port 25 (start>>run "telnet <ip address> 25") and seeing if you get a 220 banner announcing there is a mail server there.

a CNAME is a redirect - it says "treat this domain the same as domain xxxx" where xxxx is what you get back if you do "set q=cname" and then look up the domain.

hope this helps :)

Is gamail.com a valid email server

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
