What is the difference between ident-lookups and DNS? And why would
either one affect incoming mail? (I have a qmail box that has
consistently had trouble receiving mail from another mail server, even
though I am able to receive from most other mail servers without
problems. Our DNS server has been unresponsive at times, and I'm
wondering if there may be a relationship).
TIA,
Andy Huhn
