Thanks for your response. I checked that too and it seems as
though DNS responds to this domain sometimes. It is a valid
domain as reported by internic.net and we do receive mail from
this user most of the time. Of course, csi.com is
CompuServe/AOL... maybe that explains it... lol... Anyway, it
there a way to increase the DNS lookup timeout? Perhaps it just
needs a bit more time for the lookup. -Scott.
