You do not *have* to have multiple DNS servers in your situation (it is recommended, but not necessary). You can have a single DNS server that is authoritative for your domains (responding to anyone in the world who asks about them), and acts as a recursive DNS server for only certain IPs (so the IMail server can ask the MX record for hotmail.com, but I can't).And I am not quite sure how to address the problem. I unchecked the box that says "do not use recursion." Stopped and restarted the DNS service.We are a small shop. 1 dns server. I do not think I will be around long if I allow recursion because I do not have multiple DNS servers to do the restrictive recursion that I was directed to do.
Another option is to use your ISP's DNS server.
But, we're back around to the beginning again: Your complaint was that you couldn't send E-mail to Hotmail, which implies that you could at the very least send outgoing mail to other mailservers, which means that the DNS server listed in the IMail settings allows recursion. You refuse to accept that either [1] your DNS server has always allowed recursion, or [2] IMail isn't using your DNS server, and until you do, we can't help you further.
