I see the MX record for the domain from here...
1#> dig mx s1i.net
;; ANSWER SECTION:
s1i.net. 86400 IN MX 10 mail.s1i.net.
2#> dig mail.s1i.net
;; ANSWER SECTION:
mail.s1i.net. 86335 IN A a.b.c.d
Is it possible that there are some "other" MX records for s1i.net in the DNS
configuration of bq05.s1-i.net ?
