Does the fact that I can send mail to external domains if I use the test DNS
from ipswitch in my SMTP settings, but can't if I use the DNS from Interland
(my web host) or freeservers.com (who has my own DNS info), mean that there
is something wrong with these other DNS servers? Or could there still be
something wrong with my own setup?
Do the DNS restrict who can use them? Do I have to tell them to 'allow
recursive queries from Imail's IP? Interland said that since my web site is
on one of their dedicated servers, then I should be able to just use their
DNS in my Imail settings.
This is really driving me nuts, as every tech support person I talk to,
Interland, Ipswitch and the people who submitted my DNS say that it is
someone else's fault.
Thanks.
