I've been having intermittent trouble getting mail to Earthlink, and I think that I have narrowed the problem to a DNS issue; specifically, it seems that SIMS is sometimes not picking up the MX records. I've shown two examples below, which are relatively close in time: the first shows the failure mode, the second a successful send. The major difference that seems to BE a difference is highlighted with "<<============". (Note that the following is very wide; open your window to the width of the following line to see the whole thing.) <----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------> 09:27:41 4 SMTP [S.0000063892] is enqueued 09:27:41 4 SYSTEM [S.0000063892] submitted 09:27:41 4 SMTP Line 279 created for earthlink.net, [S.0000063892] 09:27:41 4 SYSTEM(SMTP) [S.0000063892] opened, count=1 09:27:41 4 SMTP [S.0000063892] queued to line 279(0/1). 1 routes 09:27:56 4 SMTP-279(earthlink.net) No relay exists <<==================== 09:27:56 4 SMTP-279(earthlink.net) Looking for earthlink.net 09:27:56 4 SMTP-279(earthlink.net) Connected to [207.217.121.201:25] 09:27:56 4 SMTP-279(earthlink.net) Input Line: 220-scaup.mail.pas.earthlink.net ESMTP Exim 3.33 #1 Fri, 06 Dec 2002 09:27:55 -0800\r 09:27:56 4 SMTP-279(earthlink.net) Input Line: 220-NO UCE.
