550 nstar.rn.com (TCP)... 550 Host unknown
554 <larry@nstar.rn.com>... 550 Host unknown (Valid name but no data [address])
I'm wondering, is this happening to alot of people? It's been
happening to both megasys.com and metrolink.com down here quite abit.
BTW, both systems use uunet.uu.net as a nameserver. Uunet says it's
elsewhere... is it? Both domains have primary and secondary forwarders
so it seems strange that this is happening...

I don't understand - but it's nice to know that others have had the same problem.

I would suspect that the problem is at the sending end, and that the sendmail is not configured to use MX records. If the sending host is configured to use MX's, then it might be a problem that the target host of the MX is not yet ready, but that is just a guess.

Both domains have primary and secondary forwarders >- so it seems strange that this is happening... the problem in our case (for the domain rn.com) is that our primary forwarder was specifing *.rn.com -> nstar - which didn't forward everything like it should (he is using sendmail). if he put nstar.rn.com -> nstar everything works just fine - so the problem is related to the *.rn.com in the cf file. like I mentioned in a previous article - everything was working just dandy until about 10 days ago (with the *.rn.com) strange indeed.. -- Larry Snyder, Northern Star Communications, Notre Dame, IN USA {larry@nstar.rn.com, uunet!nstar!larry, larry%nstar@iuvax.cs.indiana.edu} backbone usenet newsfeeds available Public Access Unix Site (219) 289-0282 (5 high speed lines)
