Thanks! I did check the mail headers, and it actually came from discokenny.com.

By the way, this is what I get:

  $ host discokenny.com
  discokenny.com has address 38.106.76.52
  discokenny.com mail is handled by 10 namednsservers.com.

hmm, maybe it is in your DNS cache or utterly firewalled from the UK

Oh and running mail and DNS on the same box. I hope they know how to administer secure installations. It's not a risk I would be taking.

it's back % host discokenny.com discokenny.com A 38.106.76.52
