Hi Peter.  I'm seeing something very different to you.

For me at least it'll just go straight to 206.108.5.1 (in a messaging
sense, not a packet sense of course):

zen:~$ host -t mx ss.org
ss.org                  MX      1 lethe.ss.org

zen:~$ host lethe.ss.org
lethe.ss.org            A       206.108.5.1

Both mail.ets.com & mail.nte.com do not resolve for me:

zen:~$ host mail.ets.com
mail.ets.com does not exist, try again

zen:~$ host mail.nte.com
mail.nte.com does not exist, try again

The domains do exist which is not surprising given the are both 3 letters
