I've had occasion this morning to update my SIMS router and blacklist entries and in
the process managed to truncate my router entries. I'm not sure about my blacklist yet.
I did the updates both from a Win 98 machine running MSIE 5.00 and from OS X running
MSIE 5.1.1 or whatever is the latest there. (Can't say for sure since I had to reboot
back to 9.1 where I could undo the damage.)
I'm pretty sure I have used the Win 98 box for SIMS admin before without any problems.
I'm not sure about the MSIE under OSX. Would someone please summarize which browsers
are safe to use for web admin of SIMS.
Also, as long as I'm addressing all manner of mail gurus... The way I discovered that
I'd truncated the router entries is that an email I sent to one of the domains I host
bounced with an "undeliverable" error -- DNS routing loop. Since I hadn't changed any
DNS lately, I started looking at what I had changed (SIMS) and found the router
problem. I'm guessing that, like SIMS, most mailers MTAs would simply bounce affected
email and not try again later when a DNS loop is encountered, yes? Given about an
hour's worth of hard bounces (I have no idea how many domains were affected), I wonder
how many list servers will unsubscribe the bouncees...
