Hi Len,
Thanks for your help! I telneted into our IMail server,
mail.digitalfusion.com, and did the send mail from it fine. Our other
server, which is an Exchange Server at ibscdk03.ibs.interactive.net, I also
telneted into and tried to send mail from it. It seemed to have gone
through but we received no mail at the target addresses.
We seem to be able to receive mail on digitalfusion.com from every other
domain except this one. And unfortunately this is the one that matters
since we're switching mail from interactive.net to digitalfusion.com and
will need a temporary forward.
What is really strange is that the NDR that comes back to us at
interactive.net must have reached the IMail server, but IMail denied mail
from it. ??? I even turned all relaying on hoping that might narrow down
the problem.

Then on that exchange server, run telnet into 209.49.234.149 25 and
see what you get.

DNS data doesn't propagate, resource records expire. Changed
resource records are immediately available worldwide.
Your DNS looks ok.
