Hi all, I have a problem which I have identified as being caused by simple DNS errors. Maybe you can help get me straightened out:
My IMail Log: SMTP (05300020) Trying hotmail.com (0) SMTP (05300020) Stack connect fail "64.4.52.7" SMTP (05300020) Stack connect fail "64.4.32.7" SMTP (05300020) Stack connect fail "64.4.33.7" Now 64.4.33.7 *does* belong to hotmail.com but is not the MX address, which is understood correctly by my DNS server: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- NSLOOKUP Default Server: nsctor10.bellnexxia.net Address: 207.236.176.28 > hotmail.com Server: nsctor10.bellnexxia.net Address: 207.236.176.28 Non-authoritative answer: Name: hotmail.com Addresses: 64.4.33.7, 64.4.52.7, 64.4.32.7 > set type=mx > hotmail.com Server: nsctor10.bellnexxia.net Address: 207.236.176.28 Aliases: 28.176.236.207.in-addr.arpa Non-authoritative answer: hotmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx4.hotmail.com hotmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx1.hotmail.com hotmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx2.hotmail.com hotmail.com MX preference = 5, mail exchanger = mx3.hotmail.com hotmail.com nameserver = ns1.hotmail.com hotmail.com nameserver = ns3.hotmail.com hotmail.com nameserver = ns2.hotmail.com hotmail.com nameserver = ns4.hotmail.com mx4.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.253.230 mx4.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.167.230 mx4.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.254.151 mx1.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.254.129 mx1.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.252.99 mx1.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.166.99 mx2.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.166.230 mx2.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.254.145 mx2.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.252.230 mx3.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.254.140 mx3.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.253.99 mx3.hotmail.com internet address = 65.54.167.5 ns1.hotmail.com internet address = 216.200.206.140 ns3.hotmail.com internet address = 209.185.130.68 ns2.hotmail.com internet address = 216.200.206.139 ns4.hotmail.com internet address = 64.4.29.24 > --------------------------------------------------------------- I do have this DNS server (nsctor10.bellnexxia.net) listed in my SMTP settings as the default DNS server. My question is, if this server knows the MX records of hotmail, why is Imail trying to send the message to 64.4.33.7?? Your reply is truly appreciated.
