Hi Everyone

On my WIN VPS I DNS was configured as follows...

69.25.1.1
4.2.2.4

for 12 hours now it was weird! I use SMTP to send mail. I resolving issues etc. the weirdest stuff.

anyway I changed DNS to Open DNS and "TA DA" mails are send queue is empty again.

Basically the DNS is not dead just resolves to not quite sure to what...

Can someone confirm

NO, we are using same DNS for all server and haven't receive any other complain regarding this.
We shell check it and update you on ticket.
 
ok maybe.

I give you one example though...

SMTP Was resolving "a domain"
xxx domain to xxx.bluehost.com in the morning
and
to xxx.aspirationhosting.com in the afternoon.

Akshay I can sent you a log. Maybe I am wrong but as soon as I entered different DNS 50 pending emails went out. Don't you find that weird?

Thout i must tell you only few domains were affected.

Anyway I am now on 4.2.2.4 as primary DNS and open DNS as sec.
 
it isn't faulty, it is a major DNS server :)
I have seen several cases on mailenable that have very silly resolutions however, or simply restarting the smtp services clears it up.

It isn't going to hurt to use opendns servers, so no problem either way.
 
Cheers

Might make the 69.25.1.1 primary tomorrow to see how it goes.

It was a silly resolution that's true. My problem affected only few smaller hosts, emails to yahoo, gmail, hotmail were delivered absolutely fine.

well all good now!

Let's see if mailenable will pull a stunt again.

Thank you.
 
you can check it without assigning if you want use like this from cli:
nslookup domainwithissue.com 69.25.1.1

It will reply with the proper IP if working right.
 
There may be some fault on this DNS server it seems we have another report now of similar issue, very odd that interNAPs nameserver is not working properly.
 
I have a client reporting they are getting dozens of returned emails today and yesterday that went out through mail.m****here.biz with the same message

"Sorry, I couldn't find any host named unc.edu. (#5.1.2)"

(and various other working valid hosts)

A re-send sometimes works, sometimes not.

Could this be related?

There is a chance, 95%+ of our servers are using this DNS, we are working to get it switched off there.
 
bro you say ".edu" sounds about right.

I had similar issue with "smaller" hosts (companies, organizations, hosting companies).
Are big providers (Yahoo! Gmail hotmail) ok?
