tried this from two different computers.. one being the mail server which uses my dns server and one that uses an upstream dns server and I get the same response from both
C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>ping 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net Ping request could not find host 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net. Please check the name and try again.
That would definitely be a problem. Your DNS isn't working properly.
The first step would be to type "ipconfig /all" from a command prompt (or 'ipconfig /all | find "DNS server" /i' to see just the DNS lines) to see which DNS server(s) are being used. Then, you'll need to do some testing to see what the problem is with them.
