That would explain your problem. If your DNS servers do not allow recursion, they will not give you answers about Hotmail. But, since you got some answers for Hotmail, that means that whatever DNS server(s) are hooked up to IMail do allow recursion. :)As a rule, we do not alow recursion on our DNS.
Lots of ISPs do -- see http://www.DNSstuff.com/tools/ispdns.ch?type=A&domain=example.com for a list of some of the most common ones.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?The manual tells all. <BG>
It's the "DNS" option in the SMTP settings.
