The activation email you would have received from the hoster would contain that information. It's usually something like mail.domainname.com.
You can open up a command prompt and try the following:
C:\>nslookup
Default Server: mydns.local
Address: 10.0.1.2
> server 8.8.8.8
Default Server: google-public-dns-a.google
.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
> set type=all
> gmail.com
Server: google-public-dns-a.google
.com
Address: 8.8.8.8
Non-authoritative answer:
gmail.com internet address = 172.217.8.165
gmail.com AAAA IPv6 address = 2607:f8b0:4009:803::2005
gmail.com nameserver = ns3.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 40, mail exchanger = alt4.gmail-smtp-in.l.googl
e
.com
gmail.com nameserver = ns2.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 20, mail exchanger = alt2.gmail-smtp-in.l.googl
e
.com
gmail.com MX preference = 30, mail exchanger = alt3.gmail-smtp-in.l.googl
e
.com
gmail.com
primary name server = ns3.google.com
responsible mail addr = dns-admin.google.com
serial = 152385824
refresh = 900 (15 mins)
retry = 900 (15 mins)
expire = 1800 (30 mins)
default TTL = 60 (1 min)
gmail.com nameserver = ns1.google.com
gmail.com nameserver = ns4.google.com
gmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = gmail-smtp-in.l.google.com
gmail.com text =
"v=spf1 redirect=_spf.google.com"
gmail.com MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = alt1.gmail-smtp-in.l.googl
e
.com
This is the best money I have ever spent. I cannot not tell you how many times these folks have saved my bacon. I learn so much from the contributors.
