Thank you for the replies, The DNS servers appear to be working fine. NSLOOKUP from a DOS prompt on the mail server to either of the DNS servers specified in IMail's SMTP service settings answers all of my queries, authoritative and recursive. Is there another test I might perform?
Speaking of DNS, during re-install, the server was on a different network, obtaining temporary IPs & DNS servers from DHCP. Once put into production, the server IP was changed and IMail's DNS servers were updated manually, as you mention. Digging for stale DNS info, I did find an IMail registry entry for virtual server 192.168.0.5 -- the temporary DHCP-supplied IP. No reference to this value could be found in IMail admin, so I deleted it. No change. [One of our mail servers fails BLARS, so I do have a convenient way to check if IP4R tests are working again.] Any thoughts? Dave "R.
