Hi laura,

This sound svery much like a DNS problem to me....
You probably havn't altered anything on this domain for a while, but ive seen this sort of weird behaviour before, that is probably due to obsolete nameservers have NOT deleted their DNS records from a long time back, and for some reason known only to the nameserver owners, the records get resurected and placed back in the public domain, and couse problems for you and others.n  Or it could be your local DNS messing you around.  Its quite common for slight typos to cause these sort of problems, have you very varefully checked EVERY single peice of information for the DNS records, and have you tried a NSLOOKUP from your server, to see what it actually thinks the dns is from the outside world.

third option is that the Domain is not listed in "accept mail from domain" in the GUI, have you checked this?

Regards,
