RE: Strange email sending problem

C:\Documents and Settings\Ken>nslookup mail.dilgardfoods.com

C:\Documents and Settings\Ken>nslookup 66.237.1.143

I'm assuming dilgardfoods.com has a MX record of mail.dilgardfoods.com. I
could be wrong, of course. The HOST record of mail.dilgardfoods.com is found
but the 66.237.1.143 address does now match in respect to the returned
'Name'. Your ISP should be the place to get it fixed since they provide the
address to you. If it's a dynamically assigned address then you most likely
cannot get it fixed.

I gather what you are saying is there is a problem because our iSeries at
192.168.0.1 is "as400.dilgard.com" on our internal network and my email
address is "@dilgardfoods.com"?  Out iSeries does not have an externally
routable IP address.  It's behind a firewall and router.

I'm dense on this stuff.  If the above is what you're trying to say, you'll
have to explain it in more detail.  Why isn't it a problem when I email
elsewhere?
