Hmm.... not sure why I'd be seeing this lookup result come back, since as far as I can tell all my DNS setup is correct. This isn't resulting in a failure to deliver mail, at least, because the MAILFROM test still passes... but I wouldn't expect to be getting an error on HELO like this. Any ideas, or things I should additionally test?

Received-SPF: error (DNS MX lookup failed.?) SPF=HELO; sender=mail.billsden.org; remoteip=::ffff:66.218.52.56;

Go and bitch at your registrar, UltraDNS.

This is a long-standing bug in their TLD servers, and they are either too stupid to know how to fix it, or too stupid to understand what the problem is.

The description of the bug is rather technical, and I won't expect you to understand it, but someone who's supposed to be in the business of providing top level DNS should know how these things are supposed to work.

The only way to fix this is to use .com or .net name servers to provide authoritative name services for your .org domain. Actually, you can use any other TLD, except for .org, to provide DNS for .org domains.

Well, I know we simple-minded folk can be slow sometimes... but why not slap us with the explanation just in case? :)
