"SmartDNSHost" and "ErrCode = -256"

Hello everyone,

 

I've recently upgraded from Win2k+Xmail 1.25 to RHEL5.5 + Xmail 1.27.  

This is also on a new hosting provider in a new city.

So much has changed.

 

I used to be able to send to this person @ dinglepartners.com.au

 

However now I get error 256.

 

Immediately I assumed there was a DNS issue and did a manual DIG and checked
the DNS settings.

They all seem fine, so here I pose the question to you all in case I missed
something.

 

Below is all the detail I gathered in my checking.

It looks like the A-Record is being favoured over the MX, but I know that
Davide did some work on the DNS resolver in recent versions to improve the
DNS logic.

 

Does anyone have any ideas.

 

Much appreciated.

 

Rob :-)
