Meta Info was installed on a different server. I then installed Simple DNS
Plus on the same machine as iMail. I tested it by sending email to
earthlink, ... BUT I did not test sending email to AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo.
I then replaced NT with Windows 2000 (I have old version of Meta Info which
does not work with Windows 2000 server).
Now, I found out that my users can not send email to AOL, Hotmail and Yahoo.
Simple DNS Plus admitted that its software did not work with Windows 2000
and later email me a fix. Its support staff said that it is now working on
Windows 2000 server. However, I could not get it to work.
I would appreciate any help. I like the ease of use of Simple DNS Plus. If
anyone can recommend another DNS server program, I would appreciate it.
Meta Info is too expensive for me after it was bought out by Checkpoint.
