FW: Adding a 2nd smtp server; munged DNS entry

Feb 1, 2010, 6:19 AM

Post #1 of 3 (2521 views)

Andrew .. h'mmm, thanks for the info, I'm re-reading A's archived email
from the 27th now. However Network Solutions hosts our DNS and while we
can add/remove or edit our domain, I don't see any way to edit
mail.c-span.org, or any of our records, to add the '.' suffix.

I'll take it up with them, tho' when I added the SPF TXT entry a while
back their Tier1 support wasn't much help.
Thanks again for all who contributed.

Sam,

You've created your DNS record incorrectly, probably forgetting the "."
at the end. See alan's reply from the 27th. He explains this in detail.
