As long as I'm begging for help, I might as well go for broke and ask for
advice on a second question. For those of you with long memories, I posted a
similar question in late February. Sadly, my DNS problems started occuring
that day, and I never received any of the replies.
We have a problem with what appears to be invisible email. That is, if you
sit at the mail server and open a mail client (either the IMail client or
Outlook Express), you can see all of the messages. However, if you open the
same account from another machine, some messages may not be visible.
Let me give an explicit example: I have a mailbox in this particular domain.
Someone outside complained I wasn't getting their mail. I figured their mail
was getting bounced, except that there were no error messages. However, I
think opened the account from the mail server itself, and found all of the
"missing" messages had indeed arrived. For some reason, these messages are
not getting downloaded to mail clients off of the mail server.
What could cause this and how do I fix it?
Right now, I am forced to periodically log into the mail server and check for
"missing" mail in various mailboxes. Anytime someone thinks that a mail
message is overdue, the quick response is "hey, Ben, can you check the mail
server to see if I really received this mail or not?"

For my next upgrade, I'm going back to paper cups and string.
