Sandy,

I know what NSLOOKUP is, however I don't know what you mean "...with SET
TYPE=MX against Imail's DNS servers...".   What do I type at the DOS
prompt?

This is all I can do right now...

DNS request timed out.
    timeout was 2 seconds.
*** Can't find server name for address 198.6.1.5: Timed out
Default Server:  cache03.ns.uu.net
Address:  198.6.1.4

> set type=MX


It is quite common that I get "DNS request timed out" errors.  Sometimes
for more than one server.  It's been like that, on and off, sporadic,
for months.  I don't know if this is related to my problem or not.
