Mail from Xtra users to "anything(a)comsolve.co.nz" is being bounced back to them along with a .dat information file.
Closer inspection of this .dat file reveals that Xtra's (DNS servers?) thinks that mail.connected.net.nz is STILL the destination mail server despite me not being with Connected since 1998.
Yes- I have kept my DNS zonefiles and Domainz information well up-to-date for the last 4 years since moving from Connected and running my own mailserver....
This may merit some looking into. I have contacted Xtra and found their (Contracted to Teletech) helpdesk helpful enough (Even though I have never been a client of Xtra's) but unable to assist with somewhat technical matters of this nature. (They are passing the matter on they say).
How many others have been caught out like this?
From memory Xtra cleared it up pretty quickly once they were aware of it.
I have seen this at least once before, what it was the domain had previously used Xtra for it's mail, later on they moved to ihug but their config wasn't removed from all of Xtra's mailservers. So some mail from Xtra attempted to go to the old mailboxes (which no longer existed). postmaster(a)xtra.co.nz would be the natural person to contact. -- Simon Lyall. | Newsmaster | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Network/System Admin | Postmaster | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz ihug, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz - To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
