Ok, I may very well have DNS problems, but at this time I'm using my ISPs
name server, so I know that resolution is happening. I used
smtp.mcclear.com, and it's pingable, and comes up on nslookup. As for how
long I waited; it was around a minute. I'll try again and wait longer.
Now as far as users are concerned, I tried to use qmail-pw2u, but it seemed
to hang. How can I diagnose this?
Oh, and I didn't reply to an existing message, since this is a different
problem, I started a new one. I assume that your threader works like mine,
and sorts by subject (or whatever)?
