Are you trying to email the domain example.co.uk perchance..?

$ host -t mx example.co.uk
example.co.uk           MX      10 mail.example.co.uk

$ host mail.example.co.uk
mail.example.co.uk      A       80.94.32.132

$ host 80.94.32.132
Name: gateway.webprotect.smartways.com
Address: 80.94.32.132

$ host w2200a.example.co.uk
w2200a.example.co.uk does not exist (Authoritative answer)


I presume your hostname is w2200a on the domain example.co.uk ??


More info is required here methinks..
