Email from the forums

Megiddo,
 Is there a way to fix email to <anyone>@ulyssesmod.net not working.
I thought you had fixed it, but see that someone tried to email me and it didn't work.

(Though not sure I'd have wanted this guy to succeed, it would still be a nice feature.)

Aww, I can't go to the link. It says I'm not allowed to moderate this forum. :(

spbogie, basically, as a 'guest', the 'joshcoleiscool' person tried using an email link here.
From the link you can't see.
90.207.152.145       Guest      Unable to send mail to the email address 'jamminr@ulyssesmod.net' ?action=activate;u=803;code=883498554d    Today at 07:31:14 PM
This has been a recurring problem since Megiddo switched to using a separate mail exchange on google's servers. Not a big one, but an annoyance just the same.

Only theory I can think of...
It's some sort of CGI or PHP script, right? Hosted locally.
Locally, the script is looking for mailserver@38.96.12.159(ulyssesmod.net) when trying to relay/send mail to ulyssesmod.net, and fails.
>nslookup
> ulyssesmod.net
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
Name:    ulyssesmod.net
Address:  38.96.12.159


However, its not smart enough to lookup -just- the mail exchange. Which, is google.

> set querytype=mx

> ulyssesmod.net
Server:  UnKnown
Address:  192.168.1.1

Non-authoritative answer:
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 1, mail exchanger = aspmx.l.google.com
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = alt1.aspmx.l.google.com
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = alt2.aspmx.l.google.com
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = aspmx2.googlemail.com
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = aspmx3.googlemail.com
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = aspmx4.googlemail.com
ulyssesmod.net  MX preference = 10, mail exchanger = aspmx5.googlemail.com

alt1.aspmx.l.google.com internet address = 72.14.205.27
alt2.aspmx.l.google.com internet address = 209.85.129.27
aspmx2.googlemail.com   internet address = 209.85.135.27
aspmx3.googlemail.com   internet address = 64.233.167.27
aspmx4.googlemail.com   internet address = 66.249.93.27
aspmx5.googlemail.com   internet address = 66.249.83.27
aspmx.l.google.com      internet address = 64.233.185.27
aspmx.l.google.com      internet address = 64.233.185.114


I'm guessing if you could find where in the script it performs its lookups, you could change it.

This is all theory of course.
