Title: RE: DNS Problem

I seem to remember his post from before. Whenever I send an email and I send to a non-existent address, I get an NDR. He is not. He was asking about custom configuration on the (EX 5.5) IMS – don’t know what it is in E2K.   Wouldn’t an NSLOOKUP on the server determine if he has a DNS problem?   Stretching as I’m in the dark when it comes to E2K.   Steve Clark Clark Systems Support, LLC AVIEN Charter Member www.clarksupport.com           301-610-9584 voice           240-465-0323 Efax   -----Original Message----- From: Lefkovics, William [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, September 10, 2001 2:43 PM To: MS-Exchange Admin Issues Subject: RE: DNS Problem   It should get returned as "host not found", or in E2K's case, it sometimes comes back as "the email system was unable to deliver the message but did not specify a reason".  If it sits in the queue, I would suspect it either resolves the name and can't find the SMTP server or it can't get a DNS MX response?

If I were to send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (any domain that does not exist), it will set in the queue and keep retrying until it times out. Any suggestions on how to troubleshoot it?
