Hi All!

We have some clients complaining that Hotmail isn't sending messages through
to their mailboxes hosted with us.  On the other hand, we know that many
messages are getting through from Hotmail.  The question is why some
messages are failing.  One client sent us the following error message that
she received from Hotmail, which I am quoting below.

The only clue I have so far is that our second DNS server, which is
operating by an independent ISP, has suddenly started reporting as *not*
authoritative for our domains.  I'm not qutie sure what that really means,
but I know it wasn't that way a couple of weeks ago, and I can imagine
Hotmail having soratic problems reaching us if that DNS server is not
working right.
