Thanks in advance >for help... The problem is beyond your control -- it's an AT&T problem. There are two DNS (Domain Name Servers) defined for the 'ATT.COM' domain, namely 'GW1.ATT.COM' and 'NINET.RESEARCH.ATT.COM'. If you ask the former DNS for the IP-address of the host which has been designated to receive E-mail for the 'MHCNET.ATT.COM' domain, the correct answers, namely 'GW1.ATT.COM', 'GW2.ATT.COM', and 'ATT-OUT.ATT.COM', are returned. If you ask the latter DNS for the same information, you get the error-message "non-existent domain". So, the tables held by the latter DNS need to be updated, to avoid the "unpredictable" behaviour you've been seeing. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 8 Apr 1995 12:40:05 -0400 Subject: HEPV-L: [log in to unmask] auto-deleted The following users have been removed ("auto-deleted", in list owner jargon) from the HEPV-L list as a result of the nondelivery error report enclosed below.
