Your DNS is rather badly broken. Perhaps your connectivity in general? ----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------ % dig -t ns pleiadesdesign.com ; <<>> DiG 9.4.2 <<>> -t ns pleiadesdesign.com ;; global options: printcmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached % host lyra.pleiadesdesign.com ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached ----------------------------8< cut here >8------------------------------ As Eli noted, running all the nameservers off one IP is generally bad. The reason that multiple NS records are required by registrars is for resiliency -- it's not pointless bureaucracy. You can get free DNS secondarying from various sources; I've heard good things about the http://www.granitecanyon.com/ service. Read the terms of service (no warranty), try it, consider making a donation if it's useful to you. They have a decent FAQ, too. The routers near my box have multiple routes to 69.30.192.0/18, so the network in general is fine. But if I try to connect to 69.30.204.75 with TCP on ports 25 or 80 (as suggested by DNS entries) I never get a response. Is this on the end of a DSL or cable-modem line? -Phil -- ## List details at http://lists.exim.org/mailman/listinfo/exim-users ## Exim details at http://www.exim.org/ ## Please use the Wiki with this list - http://wiki.exim.org/
