Interesting Chris : I have mail.adelphia.net in my SMTP field at the moment. But have occasionally received error messages that mention the Network stream Error (don't know what DNS is). It usually happens when I send out my group event notices. I break these up alphabetically and send them out in groups of about 30, not all are returned with that NSE message.
