Code:
 
nslookup -qt=MX -d2 smithssc.com
traceroute mail.centurytel.net

I used a pc tool with all the ip tools gui'd in, cyberkit. http://www.softpedia.com/get/Network...CyberKit.shtml

The -d2 might be overkill, just from memory, more chatty.

No @ or junk before it, that is for the email server on the far end. Just the host/domain part.
