Finding a domain's email server

You can use the windows command nslookup to get information about the email server that is used by a particular domain. If you enter the command:

nslookup -q=mx google.com

. . . the nslookup query will be set for the mail exchange server for the listed domain name.

The lower the MX preference number for a server, the higher preference it will be given by the domain.
