Thanks for the response Scott. Instead of pushing the issue with my friend I am in the process of moving the DNS over my machine (I started this last night). I thought it was kind of bizarre he was blaming that DNS Report was faulty. So the best case in this situation is just to move it so I can have more control to fix any problems that arise.
Again, I want to thank you for DNS Report as it has been invaluable to as well! Charles -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of R.

We even found out that one web hosting service had a "canned" response to all their customers that mentioned that there were DNS problems! Needless to say, when I asked them why they thought the site was unreliable, I got no answer. People prefer to place the blame on the DNSreport.com site rather than themselves. That's not to say there can't be problems -- on rare occasions, someone points out a problem that needs to be fixed. But we are not aware of any open issues. What would I do in this case? I wouldn't push the issue with your friend. He's been given an indication that there are problems with the domain. He now can decide what to do. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
