Sad to say, that it did not resolve getting mail to my friend.
It still comes back as undeliverable. I'll tell you, life was too easy when
we first set up. I never had any trouble and I think I even started to
believe I had done something right. Now I'm in the dark.
DNS errors are still saying that the server is sending packets back to
itself. So apparently I haven't put a dent into solving the problem.....
Where's that flashlight...
