[ubuntu-uk] Setting up mailserver

[Sean Miller]

tracert suggests that your machine thinks it's called jrh.co.uk not joshh.co.uk

Also you need BOTH nameservers to be pointing to your machine.

At the moment you appear to have the first nameserver set to
joshh.co.uk (and an IP) and the second nameserver set to
ns.123-reg.co.uk -- I suspect that the reason that you're getting the
123reg holding page is that it is not finding joshh.co.uk DNS on your
machine.

Are you sure you've set up bind/named correctly?
