^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
For the underlinded part :
A quick look in the bat book reveals that the underlined part is wrong .
it should rather read
: 1 ( I would prefer 10 ) keet.lankheet.com
In other words it should specify the host to be conducted in order to
make the delivery ,
which is keet.lankheet.com ( the host ) and not lankheet.com which is a
domain .

If i might ask , where is the A record for the keet.lankheet.com ?
After Sendmail reads the above MX record , Sendmail would try to resolve
the host refered there .
So an A record similar to the one below would be needed .
keet.lankheet.com 2400 IN A 62.251.118.138 ( or whatever the correct
IP is )
