Your DNS is hosed. Your secondary is not responding to DNS queries. See below: Fix your secondary and you're rocking again ! ! !       Domain Name: HTO.NET Domain servers in listed order: NS1.HTO.NET 205.146.103.181 NS2.HTO.NET 205.146.103.183 The previous information has been obtained either directly from the registrant or a registrar of the domain name other than Network Solutions.

A friend of mine just acquired a ISP which is using IMail 6.06 (I applied the patch last week for it), and I am tryring to help out with the mail service. It seems that he is getting calls from a FEW people complaining that they are not getting inbound email. I have checked the DNS and everything looks fine. I have checked for another SMTP service that might be abducting the mail, and there seems to be none. Myself and the server tech have been sending emails to each other, we also have signed up on a few mailing lists to see if we get mail (and we have had no problem). I am pretty well stumped as to where else to look. Any help in pointing me in the correct direction would be appreciated.   There seems to be no problem sending email out (No one complaining about that), just people saying that they are not getting mail in. There was even one person who said she was getting mail from a person in Florida that she corresponds with, but not from another person in Michigan. This all seems strange to me, I would think it would be an "All-or-nothing" proposition (all the mail, or no mail).     TIA for any help you can give. [EMAIL PROTECTED]   Mail server is mail.hto.net  -  205.146.103.19   Let me know if any more info is needed. I have also RTFM and can't really find anything out of the ordinary in the seteup that might cause this :-) .
