Have you compared your ISP's DNS settings (nslookup) with your Qube2's?  I
just pinged koro.off.connect.com.au [192.94.41.1] OK. Is that the IP / url
that is having problems? 

If you are getting pop3, it probably means that your MX record is OK. Have you
set any IP filters? Are you sure they have the correct PTR record for you in
their zone info? You do have the static ip address in the secondary settings -
not the gateway, right?

Maybe if you posted your Qube2 settings and your zone settings someone might
spot the problem. Hard to debug with so little to go on.

Mike.
