RE: [IMail Forum] DNS Blacklist failure

[Kami Razvan]

Hi Paul: We have the same issue.. but when we reboot all goes well for 2 days and then it happens again. Our problem is also that the mail does not go out.. when this happens the server can not resolve any name.  Our other servers have no problem .. the only one that has issue is the one running IMail. Contacted IPSwitch about it:  Response.. "we are not aware of this issue & have not heard of this".. I think they don't watch this list.. since it has been a topic of discussion more than a hundred times. We have done several suggestions on the list with no resolution. For now-- reboot every other day.

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.
