hello! thank you all for the input! here again a short description of my problem:
i am having problems to send emails to the two mentioned domains (rieter.com and newtag.ch). the mails come back to the sender with an error message along these lines: mail delivery failed after 20 attempts... it somehow seems to be a dns problem. i am only experiencing this problem with domains whos mailserver isn't in the same domain. an example of a domain that works is sichtwerk.com (mailserver is mail.sichtwerk.com). i was able to "solve" the problem by adding the mail servers of these domains to the smtpfwd.tab. this can't be the solution. let me also tell you that i am relativly new to the subject! e.g. i am not very experienced with dns, mx and smtp itself. thank you again for your help! greetings from switzerland, stefan Terry L Fritts wrote: > Hello Frederik, > > Thursday, October 24, 2002 you wrote: > FG> I did a dig-down into the two domains...
