Bill,
Thanks for the reply. That was my theory. I have taken Hell from this
woman because she blames me that she can't send mail to steve.
You are right, Steve transferred his domain to my DNS, although it was 3

BTW - it isn't fixed yet. She finally contacted her ISP thinking they will
spank me for messing this up.
--Thanks
