Yes, I admit there is much to learn. I have much to learn about DNS.
Just when you think you've got it, an RFC change (in March) throws
everyone, and expecially me for a loop.
What RFC change are you referring to?

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:
OK, that proves that your DNS servers weren't working properly, as we had told you. :)

The problem seems to be pointing to Hotmail.
Hmmm -- switching from your DNS servers (which were returning the wrong IPs) to Ipswitch's DNS servers (which are returning the correct IPs) means that the problem is at Hotmail how?

Eric S also found out that their TTL's are not as short as everyone thinks.
Bzzt.. wrong answer. I said they were 1 hour, they are. Go to http://www.DNSstuff.com/tools/lookup.ch?name=hotmail.com&type=MX and see for yourself.

It is possible that they changed them before you reported this issue, as I am sure that they had longer TTLs in the past. But they are *definitely* 1 hour right now, and have been for at least several days.
