[cobalt-users] Mail undeliverable on RaQ3

[James Riordon <James@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been having this problem for a couple of days now and have 
tried to the best of my knowledge to fix it without asking anyones 
help here.

This has been in the lists before with no solution that I could find, 
so here goes:

I send an email to an address, the message goes through, I get back a 
message 'Undeliverable after 4 hours...will keep trying for 5 days' 
the message then gets sent repeatedly for 5 days.

The domain works perfectly. I am using my RaQ3 as the primary NS and 
my host as the secondary NS.

I have checked records in named for working sites and non working 
sites. They appear the same to me.

Note: due to the nature of my clients site I have changed the domain 
name. If someone needs the real domain to check SOA records or other, 
please email me.

Here is the record pri.brokensite.com from /etc/named
------------------------------

brokensite.com. IN SOA ns1.amigo-3.com. admin.amigo-3.com. (
        2000100123
        10800
        3600
        604800
        86400
        )
brokensite.com.      IN      NS      ns1.amigo-3.com.
brokensite.com.      IN      NS      ns1.netnation.com.
; End SOA Header

www. brokensite.com.  in      a       216.13.247.247

brokensite.com.      in      mx      30 www. brokensite.com.

Here is the what I get from an nslookup using my ISP's DNS servers:
-------------------------------

brokensite.com.	155893	IN	NS	ns1.amigo-3.com.
brokensite.com.	86339	IN	A	216.13.247.247

------------------------

Any suggestions would be really helpful. I actually have about 15 
sites right now that are giving me this problem, the rest of my sites 
are working perfectly.

I have already fixed the admin limit of 32 problem by replacing admin 
in all the sites with admin1,admin2,admin3....etc in groups of 25, so 
that is not causing the problem.

All the sites were set up using the GUI interface. I would first make 
an A record for the site, brokensite->216.13.247.247 with a reverse 
lookup checked on. I would then make a second A record 
www.brokensite.com->216.13.247.247. Finally I would make an MX record 
brokensite.com->www.brokensite.com. These sites have been running for 
almost 6 weeks now so the propagation issue should be long pasted.

Again, any help will be greatly appreciated. Feel free to contact me 
directly if you wish.
