As of Friday PM EDT, our Imail server is now sending to autonation.com
again! Doesn't appear that I did anything on this end that changed the
operation.
My best guess: because autonation name servers were not responding (as len
points out below), our DNS was stuck with the bad record which eventually
aged out. Once they started again, we were updated with the correct info as
soon as expiry times were reached. Is this a reasonable possiblity?
Thanks to all who responded. This is easily the best forum list I'm on.

Do you understand from the above that their nameservers are NOT answering?
