I've also done an mx test from http://www.hscripts.com/tools/HDNT/dns-record.php with the following results:
Quotem0nde.com. MX IN 0 mail.m0nde.com.
m0nde.com. NS IN ns5.he.net.
m0nde.com. NS IN ns2.he.net.
m0nde.com. NS IN ns3.he.net.
m0nde.com. NS IN ns4.he.net.
mail.m0nde.com. A IN 99.233.191.168
mail.m0nde.com. AAAA IN 2001:470:1c:385::2
But when I go to the Administrator certification test, I get a message saying,
No MX found for your domain. Failed to get AAAA I wonder whether this is the same problem I encountered in the Enthusiast certification test: http://www.tunnelbroker.net/forums/index.php?topic=1120.msg6039#msg6039
