smtp server name resolving to wrong IP address
Hi,
We own 2 domains: fanniebarnes.org and usearlylearn.org.
Our mail servers are smtp. & pop. + the domain name.
The pop servers are resolving correctly to 64.26.60.229:
C:\Windows\system32>nslookup pop.fanniebarnes.org
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: pop.fanniebarnes.org
Address: 64.26.60.229
C:\Windows\system32>nslookup pop.usearlylearn.org
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: pop.usearlylearn.org
Address: 64.26.60.229
The Web host tells us that the smtp server name should also resolve to the same IP. But it is not, when I use OpenDNS's name servers. It does resolve correctly on other DNS servers that I've tried (Verizon, Cablevision).
C:\Windows\system32>nslookup smtp.fanniebarnes.org
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: smtp.fanniebarnes.org
Address: 67.215.66.132
C:\Windows\system32>nslookup smtp.usearlylearn.org
Server: resolver1.opendns.com
Address: 208.67.222.222
Non-authoritative answer:
Name: smtp.usearlylearn.org
Address: 67.215.66.132
And a tracert yields strange results as well:
C:\Windows\system32>tracert smtp.fanniebarnes.org
Tracing route to smtp.fanniebarnes.org [67.215.66.132]

Please help.
