[IMail Forum] DNS Blacklist failure

[Paul]

I’ve seen a couple of posts in the mail archive about this subject, but I haven’t seen a resolution to it yet. I am running Imail Express 8.04 on a Windows 2003 server. When I attempt to use DNS Blacklists I get the following error.   BLACKLIST: failed to connect to service (SpamCop:*.bl.spamcop.net)   This error is returned 99 times out of a hundred, with it only successfully contacting the service 1 time out of the 100.   I have changed the “Server” input from “*” to my local DNS server, to my ISP’s DNS server, but still have the same result. If I do a nslookup 2.0.0.127.bl.spamcop.net from a DOS prompt on the hosting machine it returns the proper response of 127.0.0.2.  So I know my DNS is functioning properly.   Has anyone found a fix for this problem?   Thanks,   Paul Ellison Network Admin 3-D Solutions Inc.
