Re: Anybody know what to look for in a Trace Route for SMTP?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After further conversation, I have determined that I have absolutely
no idea what is wrong.  It looks like a DNS problem, probably in the
fact that the AS/400 is not liking the DNS entry returned by the
DNS server.

I seem to recall reading something, somewhere, about some DNS
entries able to have more than one entry.  That is, one domain name
having more than one IP.  And that the AS/400 doesn't' recognize
this and won't accept it.  That could be what's wrong.  And hopefully
there is a PTF for it if it is.

Regards,

Jim Langston
