Try pinging their mailservers, mail.acosta.com, mail3.acosta.com and mail4.acosta.com It should resolve to 205.152.67.48, 67.97.186.3 and 216.83.183.231 respectively. I was able to telnet to all three and they respond as email servers. > Is this > a dns problem on my end? If so, how come I can resolve some > names not others. So yes, I think it is DNS resolution at your end. Set your SMTP on that server up to use outside DNS from your ISP perhaps, and try that. I have always had better luck doing it that way.
