OK, We're getting to the bottom of this.... I am running a DNS server on my box for my hosted domains. James has my local DNS first in the chain, followed by my two upstream DNSs, which points me to the following clue:
I ran DNSReport.com a couple of days ago on one of my domains and got an error saying I needed to add "recursion no" to my DNS server config to prevent some sort of spoofing (DNS theory is not my forte...). I added that and bounced the DNS server a day or so ago. This morning in desperation to recover from the email catastrophe, I removed that line. Now, not having a clue what that recursion thing really does, my question is this: Was it the fact the recursion option line was added to my DNS config that caused my problem? Or was it simply that for some reason I was required to restart James after bouncing the DNS server that caused the problem. In other words, is it safe to add that "recursion no" and just bounce James when I bounce the DNS server? Or is that line in the DNS config going to cause problems with James, no matter what? I really appreciate your help on this.
