Re: [cobalt-developers] Email problem on a RaQ 550



Hi Bruce,
- the server name sarrcom1.asp.be was renamed yesterday to cob2.sarrcom.com - this can be any live domain name if I'm correct

- to reply to your question: I moved the domain by changing the nameserver info. The nameserver entries point to the IP address on the new server. The settings on the old server were not changed but since the nameservers aren't pointing to that server anymore, that shouldn't really matter anymore, right? In any case, what I did (just now) was remove the Email Server Aliases in the Site Settings

- I also did some more testing and something turned up. I went to a site called http://www.domaindoctor.be/ and ran sarrcom.com through a test and it gave me the following error:

Step 3. Checkup of the "start of authority" record in the authoritative nameservers 
I have asked one of the authoritative nameservers (NS2.sarrcom.com) if he is indeed authoritative for your domain name. This means that this nameserver contains an SOA (Start Of Authority) record.

- Or in more detail (I have sent an email to ZoneEdit about this):

System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No such host is known
   at DomainDoctorTools.Dns.GetResponse(String myHost, String myDnsServer, QType myType, Boolean recursive) in c:\documents and settings\kb\my documents\visual studio projects\domaindoctortools\dnstools.cs:line 456

   at WebServiceDomainDoctor.wsDomainDoctor.CheckOne(String email, String password, String domainName, DomainDoctorT

- When I checked sarrcom.com with http://www.checkdns.net there was no problem:
DNS server NS1.sarrcom.com [64.246.27.155] is alive and authoritative for domain 'sarrcom.com' 
DNS server NS2.sarrcom.com [65.125.230.11] is alive and authoritative for domain 'sarrcom.com' 
2 server(s) are alive 

Some more 'good' news: mail does seem to arrive, however, it is delayed. This morning I received a hundred or so mails from the past couple of days. However, as mentioned in my original post people who send email do NOT receive a "failed message" notification and mail does NOT arrive on the server (checked through Telnet).
Brgds,
Reginald

I tried sending you a test email. The reply when I connected indicates 
that a server named sarrcom1.asp.be is actually answering as the mail 
server:

[bruce bruce]$ mail -v sarrcreg@xxxxxxxxxxx

I can't find any info on sarrcom1.asp.be when I query ns3.asp.be...

You said you moved the domain... is the old server it was on still set 
to receive the mail or something???
