Subject: 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)
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.

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!
