[qmailtoaster] mail.qmailtoaster.com moved!

2009-06-24 Thread Jake Vickers
I've moved mail.qmailtoaster.com (the server that serves the mailing list) to a new server. Why? Up until this point, the bulk of the Qmailtoaster projects/services have been hosted on an old IBM eServer Pentium-3 1Ghz machine that I had as a spare at the time that I took the project over. I

Could this be the problem? If the authenticating DNS servers (or the subnet they're on) are down, thats not good. Since there are only 2 of them and they're on the same subnet, that doesn't provide very good redundancy. Tricube wrote: Hi again: here is a dnsstuff.com test for all records for

This is just too bizarre.  I have 5 DNS servers (QMT, and 2 of my MS servers and the 2 Verizon DNS.) that are all timing out.  ALL of those server go to the roots.  I wonder if somehow they are blocking VZ ip addresses from doing DNS lookups? And, no, I'm not on dynamic IP range or DSL...

Perhaps too many people have resolvers going directly to the root servers, and they're somehow cracking down on them. Just following your line of thought. Have you tried using opendns or some other non-root resolver? Phil Leinhauser wrote: This is just too bizarre. I have 5 DNS servers
