Refers to "mailhost.myisp.co.uk" A quick "dig" shows this record is "NXDOMAIN" (non-existent domain) in the DNS, so it doesn't exist. But I'm unclear if you obfuscated this bit or not - when asking about DNS issues never obfuscate the details as it stops folk helping you. > myserver.mydomain.org.uk is using the DNS service provided by the > broadband router - perhaps it should be using the DNS servers provided > by the ISP directly? Customarily the DNS has one view, so if they have put the mailhost in their internal view only that would be a daft thing for them to do. Either way you can use "dig" to figure out if they have done that. -- The Mailing List for the Devon & Cornwall LUG http://mailman.dclug.org.uk/listinfo/list FAQ: http://www.dcglug.org.uk/linux_adm/list-faq.html
