Debbie-

I hate to say it (but I am honest) your DNS is a "little" messed up. I am going
to go through this the best I can in order to straighten things out. It is not
any Interliant settings, but the DNS settings on the RaQ3. Remember when I said
you can only have 1 PTR (Reverse DNS) record for each IP adrress well for some of
them you have 20.

Ok. Here is what you have:

 209.196.37.202/24      beautytech.com
 209.196.37.202/24      dns1.beautytech.com
 209.196.37.203/24      dns2.beautytech.com
 209.196.37.202/24      www.beautytech.com

Now that telling the DNS that if you go to the IP address 209.196.37.202 that it
should go to beautytech.com, dns1.beautytech.com,  and www.beatutech.com all at
once. Which is impossible.

Delete all the PTR records (Reverse DNS) except for:

209.196.37.202/24      beautytech.com
 209.196.37.203/24      dns2.beautytech.com

That leaves us with 1 PTR record for each of those IP addresses.


> site1.com      209.196.37.204
>  www.site1.com      209.196.37.204
>  209.196.37.204/24      site1.com
>  209.196.37.204/24      www.site1.com

Ok. Here is where we have a similar type problem. With this DNS setting you are
telling it to go to site1.com and ww.site1.com at the same time when someone
tries to go to 209.196.37.207 . Even though to you they are the same site DNS
does not think so. Delete the record that says:

 209.196.37.204/24      www.site1.com

Debbie same problem here. You have two PTR records for the same IP address.
Delete one of them.

You should only have one record that goes from a specific IP > a specific host.
What happens is sendmail tries to resolve a hostname from the IP address and is
unable to because DNS does not have a specific setting for it. It then times out
within 2 - 4 minutes.

>  209.196.46.83/24      parked.com
>  209.196.46.83/24      www.parked.com

Again . You have 209.196.46.83 pointing to 4 different domains. Think of it as
having an A record and setting it to point to 4 different IP addresses. Which one
should DNS chose as the real one to resolve to?
