>Can you have IMail use another recursive DNS? As a rule, we do not alow recursion on our DNS. I do not know of any, maybe earthlink, that might allow recursion. I wouldn't know how to tell imail to use another DNS server that allows recursion anyways. Do you?

Can you break down your question for me, I am not sure I understand your question? Hmmm...Why would my DNS be telling us stale nameserver entries at hotmail? J.J.

Hotmail isn't "rejecting" SMTP-lyyou via a policy. You have tcp/ip "stack connect" failures trying to establish TCP/SMTP with ip's that your DNS is telling Imail are the Hotmail MX hostname ip's. Can you have IMail use another recursive DNS? Can you take the list of ip's and from another machine telnet to port 25 of each one and get an SMTP welcome banner from Hotmail MX?
