RE: [IMail Forum] DNS troubleshooting assistance request (causing mail problems)

ns2.centric.net never responds to anything at this time.  I don't have that machine up right now (temporary condition that has been the case for too long) From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Robert Radtke Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 2:14 PM To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] DNS troubleshooting assistance request (causing mail problems) I did a quick check against your 2 DNS servers and only 1 responds to requests for the ifs-mt.com domain.   ns.centric.net seems fine ns2.centric.net doesn't respond at all.   I suspect that may be the cause of the inconsistent behavior.   Hope that helps.   Robert From: Katie LaSalle-Lowery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, October 29, 2004 3:13 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [IMail Forum] DNS troubleshooting assistance request (causing mail problems) Yesterday we became the DNS authority for a domain, ifs-mt.com.   They have an Exchange server.  Their Exchange server's IP address was and remains 69.51.79.204.   I created an A record for mail.ifs-mt.com for 69.51.79.204 with an MX record for mail.ifs-mt.com.   At my location we have an Exchange server (mail.emerycomputer.com) and we have an Imail server at a remote location.  When I send from our Exchange server the mail is delivered.  When I send through our Imail server it is not.  When I test from a Yahoo! account it does not get there.  They are not getting emails.  When I do an nslookup from our Imail server it resolves correctly but when I look in my Imail log it doesn't look like Imail is using the right address.  Since the address never changed that perplexes me.   When I nslookup or ping I resolve to 69.51.79.204.  When I test from dnsstuff.com it looks good.   If some of you would test from your end and report results I'd appreciate it.    Thanks! ~Katie
