hmm, DNS operation on Internet has not really changed in years.
I just got off the phone with Eric S and he was kind enough to let me point Imail to one of his DNS servers until tommorrow. Here is a successful email as reported in the syslog: The problem seems to be pointing to Hotmail. Eric S also found out that their TTL's are not as short as everyone thinks.
so? how your DNS cache them is determined by the TTL, no guesswork here: ;; ADDITIONAL SECTION: mx2.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.254.145 mx2.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.252.230 mx2.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.166.230 mx3.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.254.140 mx3.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.253.99 mx4.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.254.151 mx4.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.253.230 mx1.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.254.129 mx1.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.252.99 mx1.hotmail.com. 1H IN A 65.54.166.99 1H is 1H, period.
