The MX record was not like that yesterday! And all other DNS data looked
good, too. I'm guessing that Jonathan is trying some things (but this one is
not a good idea!) to 'fix' his problem. Here is the data from yesterday:
surrealnet.net.
nameserver = AUTH00.NS.UU.NET.
nameserver = DOTTIE.SURREALNET.COM.
63.65.13.8
1, mail.surrealnet.net.
mail.surrealnet.net.
63.65.13.8
8.13.65.63.in-addr.arpa.
host = mail.surrealnet.net.
which was fine!
I suspect a local name resolution problem. Check/fix the HOSTS file. Also,
does IMail have more than one domain with 'surrealnet.net' in the Official
Host Name or in the Alias? If so what are the OHN, Alias and Top Dir
settings for these domains?
