The absence of an MX record is an excellent observation Mike. Furthermore,
no TXT record exists for gerry.vanagon.com. TXT records are used to store
SPF and DKIM records that are used by other email service providers to
determine the trustworthiness of gerry.vanagon.com. I am happy to help
improve the DNS records for gerry.vanagon.com.
