Hey scott, If it was a DNS problem on our end, what would you guess it might be? The TTL on our end? Meaning we have updates, albeit old data, still in our nameserver, which might be the reason that the IP's are not valid on the Hotmail side...? I am not sure. I did a DNS report at http://www.dnsreport.com/ and got good scores for commandline.net, however, when I did it the first time it recommended that I set my SOA to expire after 14 days, do you think that could have anything to do with the Hotmail rejecetions?

That could just be because Hotmail switches IPs very frequently (their TTL is 1 hour, which is *extremely* low). Assuming that those IPs are correct, then their mailservers just aren't answering. That's very common for Hotmail and other large free mail services, but right now, we can connect to all 10 Hotmail mailservers. One possibility is that they are dumb and blocking your IP (which ends up costing them bandwidth as you keep trying to connect again). But, given that the IPs above aren't the current ones, and they don't seem to respond, it may be a DNS issue on your end. -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/
