I hear you. I already went to my registrar's DNS configuration, and updated it. The last time i changed the serial was yesterday. what do you mean last updated in 2004? how can you determine by the serial the last update, this is new to me, please give me more info.

Make sure to login to your registrars account and modify the name servers created for your domian (for directnic I choose the "modify name servers")  This is not to be confused with modifying dns servers listed for your domain.  If it's not changed there nothing will update properly.  Also, don't be fooled into thinking changing ip's will work.  It's named based...the ip's will follow. 
 
Actually, upon reading your zone file... try updating the serial... it was last updated in 2004 according to it's value.

oh, you said parent servers. sorry, i thought you meant my "DNS bind" servers. yeah, it does look like it is stemming from the parent servers, but, unfortunately i have no control over that, and like i said it's had more than enough time to propagate. is there a way to fix this?

I know, that's the test i did to confirm my problems. The records at my parent servers are fine.
here's a copy of my bind zone file for canus.org:

Chris,
 
Have a quick look at:
 
 
it suggests that the problems stem from differences with your records at your parent servers.
 
Hope this helps,

to make matters even more interesting. i have a dns problem. i can't figure it out, as well, and my ISP's DNS administrator can't figure it out too. a while back, my dns servers were, ns.canus.org and ns1.canus.org, ns1.teksavvy.com. however, i changed that to ns1.canus.org, and mail.canus.org. i did all the configurations correctly, and it's been about 4 weeks now that i have made the changes,  so, it has had plenty of time for the root servers to propagate. but, the root servers still have ns.canus.org in their database. and because of that, my dns isn't working perfectly. anyone have any ideas what the problem or solution can be.

Hi Chris,
 
I could not get an smtp reply or any other typical response (http, https, icmp - ping), so thought there was no server there - hence the question as to had your ip changed.
 
Glad it's all sorted now,
 
Jon

Hi Jon;

sorry, i should have replied back to my message. the funny thing is, when i connection got dropped, and while i was troubleshooting it with my ISP, they forgot to
re-enable my subnet of static ip's. i finally figured that out when i just couldn't get any sort of replied from outside regarding smtp. i then called them and asked
if whether my static ip's were set, oooops.
so, I thank you Jon. just out of curiosity, what sort of replies did you get when you looked up those ip's below?

Chris

Chris,
 
I have no idea of what kind of connnection you are on, but have you checked that when the connection was dropped they did not change your ip.
 
I have just done a couple of lookups and get different replies ie 206.248.143.18 and 206.248.143.19 for smtp.canus.org.
 
Regards,
 
Jon

Hi everyone;

yesterday, my connection got dropped for about 2 hours.

and ever since then, i can send mail, but, for some very strange

reason, i can not receive mail. I pretty much played with everything i thought of. turned off the firewall on the toaster, checked to make sure the right ports (smtp, pop3, imap, http, etc..) were open on my router. checked the queue (nothing), checked my smtp, send, pop3 logs, nothing shows up in them when i try to send myself a mail from hotmail for example. and like i said, when i send, the logs are updated. it's as if there isn't a hole open for smtp. anyone have any ideas? Please, I'm desperate. Unfortuanatley, even if you answer, i won't get it. so, i would appreciate it if you could mail me at [EMAIL PROTECTED].

Oh, i forgot a couple of things. i re-installed the toaster, thinking something perhaps went wrong with the box. but, to no avail. Now, when i try to send mail with thunderbird, i get the following message:

I have an invalid certificate, and apparently i have the same serial number as another one, i went and deleted all my certificates and serial numbers in thunderbird, but, i keep on getting the same message. however, i can send from outlook (odd!!!). the second message i get from  thunderbird is: can not connect to smtp.canus.org, saying it is unavailable. yet, again, i can send from outlook. Argh!!!

Thanx very much guys.
