Updates to Free MX Lookup Tool Jun 30, 2008

For the last year Knowledge Front has provided a free MX Lookup tool to provide an external view of what the Domain Name System is reporting for MX records.

Last week this tool received a nice update. Now, it not only performs the DNS query using Knowledge Front's servers, but finds the authoritative name servers (NS records) for the domain entered and queries those servers for the MX records directly. This can give a better idea of what is being cached vs. what is currently being reported by the authoritative name servers.

Feel free to give it a try and if there are any questions don't hesitate to contact us.
