Brent,

04:05 11:18 SMTP-(000000EC) 421 padsdns.pads.com is not accepting new
connections. Please try later

Which part of "we're busy, please go away, try later" don't you
understand?? vbg
Their server and yours are acting "tres protocolaire". Isn't mail just so
neat?
You need to talk with "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" or whomever about when they
will begin accepting mail, are they selectively rejecting mail? etc, etc.
But I bet by the time I get this msg into the Imail forum, their rejections
will have stopped.

I looked them up because their mail server was announcing itself as
PADSDNS.pads.com, and sure enough .5 is both dns and mail.
So, I wouldn't sweat it, your Imail is not at fault.
