Try:

dig +short mx vdomain.com

If that fails to return anything:

dig +short a vdomain.com

If that fails too, your DNS entries are incorrect. If you have no idea
what I'm talking about, you have some reading to do.

You'd save yourself and us a lot of pain if you could divulge the actual
name of the domain.
