This is just about the quickest turnaround I've ever had.
It appears the problem is on their side, not mine. dig
tell us that. According to Reto Lichtensteiger
% dig mx cms.ca
; <<>> DiG 2.2 <<>> mx cms.ca
;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch
;; got answer:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
;; QUESTIONS:
;; cms.ca, type = MX, class = IN
;; AUTHORITY RECORDS:
ca. 43200 SOA relay.cdnnet.ca. hostmaster.relay.cdnnet.ca. (
199707180 ; serial
21600 ; refresh (6 hours)
900 ; retry (15 mins)
604800 ; expire (7 days)
43200 ) ; minimum (12 hours)
There is a "Start of Authority" record for the cms.ca domain, but they
haven't defined any MX (Mail eXchanger) -or- A records for the domain, so
there's no way to deliver mail to that domain.
