RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog
What do you mean you changed a DC to backup? Is DNS still on it? Is that where you are getting dns from? If you removed AD from a DNS DC, then DNS will be flakey if it runs at all.

My provider knows that I am hosting an email service and not blocking. It seems to be speeding up now. I got ~8 seconds before getting a HELO reply. I did get this when running a DNS report on your domain though: *WARN* Glue at parent nameservers WARNING. The parent servers (I checked with d0.org.afilias-nst.org.) are not providing glue for all your nameservers. This means that they are supplying the NS records (host.example.com), but not supplying the A records (192.0.2.53), which can cause slightly slower connections, and may cause incompatibilities with some non-RFC-compliant programs. This is perfectly acceptable behavior per the RFCs. This will usually occur if your DNS servers are not in the same TLD as your domain (for example, a DNS server of ns1.example.*org* for the domain example.*com*). In this case, you can speed up the connections slightly by having NS records that are in the same TLD as your domain.
RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog
That usually means Yahoo or another ISP is deferring your connection due to reported abuse, or you have exceeded your allow connection in each session. This is common with Yahoo, if it extend more then two days, your on there Blacklist and have to get removed by feeling out the form on there website. Also think about joining there feedback loop, so you can avoid these issues. Your best bet is to find out why you got blocked and adjust your settings. -Original Message- From: Kent Busbee [mailto:kbusb...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 2:33 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 4:20 PM, Kent Busbeekbusb...@gmail.com wrote: On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 3:53 PM, Kent Busbee kbusb...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, now I am subscribed in gmail and should be able to email more efficiently.

RE: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog
OK, moving any FSMO roles won't have anything to do with your problem then. The Domain Naming master also doesn't have anything to do with DNS. It's the central manager for your own AD domain and nothing on the outside. I was concerned if you demoted a DC that you were getting DNS from. Where is your toaster going for DNS lookups? Do you have a local cache (DJBDNS, tinydns)? If so, is that pointing to the root servers for lookups or are you forwarding lookups to another DNS? -Original Message- From: Kent Busbee [mailto:kbusb...@gmail.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 19, 2009 5:21 PM To: qmailtoaster-list@qmailtoaster.com Subject: [qmailtoaster] Re: bandwidth hog On Wed, Aug 19, 2009 at 3:53 PM, Kent Busbee kbusb...@gmail.com wrote: Ok, now I am subscribed in gmail and should be able to email more efficiently.
