Your DNS has never functioned as a recursive DNS server. It has never been eligible to be one of IMail's servers. I'm not saying that a useless DNS daemon would crash the server or anything--it just plain doesn't work for this purpose and never has. > This "unknown host" issue happens less than 0.001% of the > time. Less than .00001 (one one-hundred-thousandth) of the time? Then I don't see why you posted in the first place, frankly. > Well, I did install Windows 2000 Server on my server before I > delivered the server to the service provider.

I'm sure that IIS worked fine, and maybe IMail did too, provided that the UUNet servers were reliable then. > How does one stabilize one's service provider's upstream DNS servers? One yells and screams, or one finds another DNS server. I didn't mean that you could fix UUNet; you just need to find working servers. Or maybe you don't--if it's really that rare of an occurence, then I have to say, though I enjoy helping you out, that we should probably drop the thread at this point, since it can't possibly be affecting business at that frequency. -Sandy To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
