Hi Scott:

I just revisited the server.  The DNS errors show the following in the
window for Packets causing problem.  These look anything but meaningful to
me.  I just recognize portions of the test names.

Have you checked to see the frequency of the messages, and see if they 
correspond one-to-one (or two-to-one, etc.) to the number of E-mails 
received?  If so, it may be that even though you don't have "TCP First" 
checked, IMail ends up using TCP because of a large response packet for one 
specific test.  If that's the case, there may be one TCP session for each 
E-mail, or for each E-mail that is listed in the spam database (depending 
on the specifics of the test).

If you have a packet sniffer on the IMail server or the DNS server, you can 
capture packets on TCP port 53, which would let you see the packets in 
question.
