Hi, I had a similar problem a while back. There is a known and internally documented bug that goes back several versions in IMail.
Under some circumstances, IMail loses the ability to resolve ANY dns entries if you follow their suggestion and enter more than one IP address in the DNS box separated by spaces. They say it is rare and they have been unable to duplicate it in the lab so they haven't fixed it. I told them I thought they should fix it anyway, especially since the tech admitted to knowing just what I was talking about after making the usual suggestions to change the NIC card. (ergo: maybe not so rare) Anyway, the solution that worked for me was to set up a DNS server just for IMail, and have it provide the reference to several outside name servers. Someone here argued for doing that on the mail server itself, which is probably a good idea, but I set up a dedicated server just for that purpose. Sounds extravagant, I know, but I haven't had a problem since with DNS or the queue. -Dave Doherty Skywaves, Inc. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Fritz Squib" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2003 10:59 PM Subject: RE: [Declude.JunkMail] Overflow Directory > John, > Nope, I'm in snowy western Pennsylvania.
