You may be on to something. Our other problem child is at students.depaul.edu, which also has no MX record. This used to work for us on SIMS 1.8b9d14 under OS 9.x, but has started failing with what looks like a router error on OS X 10.3.3 running under Classic. Can anyone confirm this? I can get a valid dig using terminal, but I don't have an OS 9 utility to do a lookup from to hand. -- Michael Croft http://www.whiterose.org/michael SAM: It's 106 miles to the Crack of Doom.
