You could try using the restest.exe file (on the Exchange CD in the support directory I think), which uses the same process that the IMS uses to resolve hostnames.
Neil -----Original Message----- From: Paul Williams [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Posted At: 19 December 2001 11:34 Posted To: Sunbelt Exchange List Conversation: NDR Subject: NDR We use Exchange 5.5 sp4 on SBS 4.5. Clients outlook 2000. We are having problems sending mail to some domains. The messages that we can not send are bounced immediately. This leads me to suspect there is an incorrect setting in exchange or a DNS issue on our site. Has anyone any ideas where to start checking. I have read a lot of tech net articles but none seem appropriate. As I said earlier some (most) mails are delivered OK but others to quiet well know domains are bounced. Our ISP claims that they have no DNS issues that they are aware of. Any pointers will be gratefully accepted.
