hmmmm
You have mega-problems with your DNS :-)
I would start "fixing" there first, then try iMail again. I've listed
the errors below, but briefly, your name servers that respond to a dig
request are different to the name servers listed as authoritative for
your zone by Network Solutions. Also, your MX records are wrong. You
should NEVER use a CName Record for an MX Record. Always always always
use an A Record.
Email me off list if you need further assistance.
/wiZZ
Serial number: 1998092600
Primary name server: orbit.org.
Primary mail server: orbit.org.
Total # of records: 8 (2 NS, 2 MX, 1 A, 3 CNAME, 0 PTR, 0 Other)
Errors
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o The server "cathos.telmaron.com." did not reply
The server "cathos.telmaron.com." did not reply when it was
queried for the name "orbit.org.". This indicates that the server
is not running, or it is currently unreachable.
o An MX record for "orbit.org." refers to "mail.telmaron.com." which
is a CNAME record
An MX record in the zone "orbit.org." refers to the mail server
"mail.telmaron.com." The record "mail.telmaron.com." is a CNAME
record, not an A record.
o The primary mail server "orbit.org." does not respond
The mail server "orbit.org.", which is a primary mail server for
"orbit.org.", does not seem to be working.
Warnings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o The zone contains more than one authoritative name server with the
same IP address
The name servers "ns2.telmaron.com." and "cathos.telmaron.com.",
which are authoritative for "orbit.org.", have the same IP address
(206.246.120.11).
o Problems determining primary server
There was not enough data available to determine which server is
the primary server for the zone.
