:Find the MX record for senecacollege.ca using the '''dig''' command:<br><source lang="bash">dig senecacollege.ca MX</source>
:Notice that the email servers aren't even a subdomain of senecacollege.ca but a completely different company (Microsoft in this case).<br>In other cases (for example , check the records for ''google.com'') the email servers are within the company's domain.
In rare cases, there may be no MX records associated with a domain (For example: try '''dig littlesvr.ca'''). In this latter case, the server called littlesvr.ca, which is supporting a web-server, is also supporting the email server for the same IPADDR.
