Folks: I wonder if anyone can help. Last night I upgraded our name server (ns.cce.ac.nz) to the latest BIND. SInce then we've had intermittant problems receiving email. Now I've reverted to the previous version: still got problems. The setup is: name server ns.cce.ac.nz 202.36.178.69 mail server mailbox.cce.ac.nz 202.36.178.67 we connect through xtra, but have our own domain and mail servers. traceroute is stopped at our firewall. Every name server that I check has the correct records (well, I think they are correct) except that for a few hours dns1.clear.net.nz had the wrong MX record. Taking xtra as an example: only one out of many test messages has reached us. One message from paradise.net.nz got here - in three hours. Others have not. I'd have thought there might be a routing problem - but I can telent to the boxes from outside this site. Folk from clear, telecom and domainz have all looked at the problem, and been a great help, but we seem to be no nearer a solution. One suggested trying nznog Can anyone suggest where I might start looking now? It's been 24 hours and I'm puzzled. Thanks for any suggestions. You might not be able to mail me: but gordonf(a)xtra.co.nz is still working :-) --- Gordon Findlay Manager, Information Technology Services Christchurch College of Education, PO Box 31065, Christchurch, New Zealand email: gordon.findlay(a)cce.ac.nz phone +64 3 343 7766, mobile 021 358 788 -These views are mine: the College may agree, by coincidence.- --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
