Mr. Schneider is being extermely simplistic. If mail is not being delivered after 4 hours then there is a problem with recepient address or your mail server (so if you know the address to be valid then it is your server with the problem fo any number of possible reasons why). > > > This is my server, I'd like help from all of you to help me fix it because I > have no idea. > > >> And when trying to send out from the server I get a delayed mail message > >> citing DNS lookup errors. > >> > >> Does anyone have any tips? > > > > Use fax - if the phone works. > > Thus he has informed you to call or fax the system administrator for the mail address/server in question and tell them to fix their problem assuming it is the address that is having troubles instead of your mail server. > WTF? > But most likely you have a misconfigured DNS and subsquently your mail server does not know how to resolve destination addresses. DNS problems while typically simple to solve, are generally beyond the scope of this list. If the server cannot complete a DNS lookup, the mail server cannot send the mail.
