Scott, Right, I agree! I realized what had happened. We had made an entry to the hosts file before when we had trouble with them so our server was using the "old" address from the hosts file and not checking their DNS. I took the entry out so then the mail server found the correct info and the message was delivered!

Note that that is a problem on their end. If their MX record points to the wrong IP (even during "DNS propagation"), it's a problem on their end. You can put an entry into your HOSTS file, but note that that is a last resort -- the next time they change IPs, you're going to wonder why IMail is still using the old IP. :) -Scott --- Declude: Anti-virus, Anti-spam and Anti-hijacking solutions for IMail. http://www.declude.com --- [This E-mail was scanned for viruses by Declude Virus (http://www.declude.com)] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
