I received this response from Melbourne IT on the problem many of us are having with not receiving e-mail

Hi (removed),

 

I've spent a few hours digging around and worked out what the problem is. The issue is that the servers you were running on (ns3.registerfree.com & ns4.registerfree.com) seem to have become unresponsive and I think they have been decomissioned. From what I have been able to find out, these were used in a promotion involving Office live in 2008. It would appear that they have decided that anyone using those servers back then would have moved to the modern version since then and turned them off.

In my opinion the best solution for you is to activate the native DNS management tools in your account and use those instead. To do this, please follow the steps below:

1. Log in and select "manage domain names"

2. Double click on the domain and select "activate DNS". You need to also allow it to redelegate to the native nameservers - ns1.secure.net and ns2.secure.net

3. Allow a few minutes for the tools to activate, then enter the information provided by outlook.com in the MX record field. If you do not have this on file, you may need to contact them to request that they re-send it.

 

SO my  question is what needs to be entered in the MX record field for Outlook.com? Can you re-send it?
