Exchange is hoping that the DNS server is just down.. It is obeying the retry settings you have for the SMTP virtual server.

I am looking for someone who is smarter than me :) to explain to me why Exchange 2000 is keeping messages in the retry queues if there are no DNS records for the messages' destination domains? For example if I send a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED], I can see a retry queue for boguscrapdoesnotexist.com, and it is marked "unable to bind to the destination server in DNS" Thanks! _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED] _________________________________________________________________ List posting FAQ: http://www.swinc.com/resource/exch_faq.htm Archives: http://www.swynk.com/sitesearch/search.asp To unsubscribe: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Exchange List admin: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
