Today Patrick brought my attention to a fact which I ignored during the last weeks, MX records for .tel domains. So I downloaded the PHP version of the Telhosting Client from http://dev.telnic.org/trac/browser/apps/php/trunk (SVN: http://dev.telnic.org/rep/apps/php/trunk). It took about 5 minutes to download the WSDL file from my registrar, patch the WSDL file and configure my domain name, username and password. This process is well documented and here is the result:

dig mcs.tel in mx

Maybe it’s now time to setup my mail server for mcs.tel.
