Re: [IMail Forum] DNS help

[Gary]

Len,     Thank you very much for your help. Your input is very helpful. I will contact my ISP for the solution. I had follow your advice to check on the spool directory and the only problem is that the smtp received the mail but could not deliver to the user (user not found error). I had check the spelling of the user and every thing seems to be ok.     Yesterday, after we change a new IP and it seem to work. According to the ISP once the TELCO came in to repair(or change?) the wiring, we had to use a new IP instead of the old one.       Thank you again. ----- Original Message ----- From: Len Conrad To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, June 09, 2000 10:37 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] DNS help    I had a problem right now that the Imail server will not deliver mail sometime but on another time it is ok.
