[ale] [OT] Website DNS issue

[Chuck Payne]

Leam,

Who manages your DNS zone, because dig doesn't come up with anything, and
my dns server only see the MX record, for leamhall.com

host leamhall.com
leamhall.com mail is handled by 10 mx.hover.com.cust.hostedemail.com.


Do you have a A record or CName record for leamhall.com in your zone? It
looks like the catch all only picking up the MX record, like it should.
