Re: [IMail Forum] OT: dns recursion

[Dave Doherty]

Sure you can.   Start | Programs | Admin Tools | DNS Right-click the DNS server, select properties I think it's the third tab. The page contains a bunch of check boxes, one of which controls recursion.   Before you do, though, be sure you have a reliable DNS resolver and that everything in your plant is pointed to it.  You could use a caching MS DNS server that is blocked from outside inquiries by your firewall.   -d   ----- Original Message ----- From: Matrosity Hosting To: Imail_Forum@list.ipswitch.com Sent: Monday, March 06, 2006 4:47 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] OT: dns recursion that doesn't sound like I can turn this off then?

This is enabled by default in MS DNS and allows anyone to use our DNS servers to do lookups. I would like disable this for obvious reasons but when I do imail has issues delivering mail and we get a lot of bounces. What am I missing?
