I know someone with a godaddy linux box, that when you try and do a lookup
of the MX record returns this:

dig somedomain.org mx +short

20 213.67.173.4.somedomain.org.

It should just return somedomain.org. What exactly is wrong with this DNS
record?

-Thanks

Some idiot put an IP address for the MX target and left off the dot at

their privileges until they read "DNS and Bind" and pass an exam on
it.
