; Bad server: cameronargentina.com.ar -- using default server and timer opts

bad server?????????????????

and take a look at this horror:

o Non-authoritative data received from the server "ns2.inea.com.ar."
     The server "ns2.inea.com.ar." is listed as being authoritative
     for the domain, but it does not contain authoritative data for it.

o The name server "server-zarate.coopenet.com.ar." is only listed in
   delegation data
     The server "server-zarate.coopenet.com.ar." is listed as being
     authoritative for the zone according to the delegation data, but
     there is no NS record for that server in the zone data.
     Delegation data and zone data should always match.

o Unable to check the name server "196.32.82.3."
     It was not possible to check the name server "196.32.82.3.",
     because its address could not be resolved.

o Unable to check the name server "196.32.67.122."
     It was not possible to check the name server "196.32.67.122.",
     because its address could not be resolved.

o The MX record "cameronargentina.com.ar." should refer to a host
   name, not an IP address
     Records of type MX  should refer to a host names, but the MX
     record "cameronargentina.com.ar." refers to the IP address
     196.32.76.50

o Only one of your name servers has autoritative data for the zone.
     The server "server-zarate.coopenet.com.ar." is the only server
     that has authoritaive data for the zone.  If this server becomes
     unavailable, your domain will become inacessible.

o Unable to verify the hostmaster address
   "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" because no mail servers
   answered.
     It was not possible to verify the hostmaster address
     "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" because none of the
     mail servers that process mail for the domain answered.

o The reverse record "3.82.32.196.in-addr.arpa." does not refer to
   the host "www.cameronargentina.com.ar."
     The reverse record "3.82.32.196.in-addr.arpa." refers to
     "www.zacamlogistica.com.", but it should refer to
     "www.cameronargentina.com.ar.".

o There is no PTR record for the host
   "cooperoil.cameronargentina.com.ar."
     There is no PTR record available for the host
     "cooperoil.cameronargentina.com.ar." which has the IP address
     196.32.76.50.


Warnings
----------------------------------------------------------------------
o Problems determining primary server
     There was not enough data available to determine which server is
     the primary server for the zone. The zone data from the server
     "server-zarate.coopenet.com.ar." will be used when analyzing the
     zone.

o There is only one MX record in the zone
     The zone contains only one MX record.  This will cause mail
     delivery problems if the primary mail server becomes unavailable.
     For safety purposes, there should be two or more mail servers for
     every zone, the extra mail servers being used as backup
     (secondary) servers for the primary server.

o The zone contains no A record with the zone name
     There is no A record in the zone with the zone name
     "cameronargentina.com.ar."


The solution is to get these caballeros to fix their DNS mess.  The fact 
that the Linux box can deliver is not a condamnation of Imail.
