Hey all.

I am having a problem with email on a telocity link, and want to know if
anyone on telocity is having any problems.

Ok, foolish move, but I have telocity handling DNS for a domain, and for the
last week (ever since the outage Friday week ago), email for users on the
domain has been sporadic at best. Matthew hasn't received any mail for 36
hours, in fact. I don't get a lot of mail for my other domains, but one
client we have gets probably a hundred emails a day, and they haven't
complained so far. I'll probably give them a call Monday about it.

Ok, it could be on my end, but I have zero log entries, and zero emails to
root about any problems. Well, I take that back, root gets mailed about 2
remote recipients being bad users (which I think are probably not related to
the problem at hand), or some such, but nothing about any incoming mail.

Any ideas?

I think the problem here is with Telocity's DNS. I *know* that some
email has been delayed, but I have yet to have any reports from
mailer-daemons or users about mail not being delivered.

That's what I suspected. At any rate, one of my clients is getting business
DSL this week, and I will use Matthew's box and this new one I'm putting up
(I have great leeway as to what I do on their equipment --- I built their
system 2 years ago when I was full-time with them) to secondary for each
other. I expect the problem to go away once everyhting is switched over.

Thanks :)

If telocity is handling DNS for you, maybe check to make sure they have a
valid
MX record for your domain.

[root@mindy /root]# dig augdata.com mx

; <<>> DiG 9.1.3 <<>> augdata.com mx

btw, how did you manage to pursuade telocity to do dns? I've been pleading
w/ them for months to load a secondary for my zone plus in-addr.arpa,,,but
have yet to find anyone a telocity with a clue :-/ .
