Trying to send email, but bouncing [error message] [original message]

Q: Ok, I tried to e-mail to say domain “yyyyy.net” for the last few weeks sending. Everytime I try to e-mail to my domain bounces yyyyyy.net on me. The error is:

The was received at Mon, 07/04/2003 3:44:41 p.m. the user
XXXXXXXX
-0500 —– The following addresses had permanent fatal errors —– @ u003cxxxx squishy. netu003e 977 503 977 503 —– Transcript of session follows —– u003cxxxx@squishy.netu003e . Deferred: Name server: mail.xxxxx.net.: Host name lookup failure message could not be delivered for 5 days Message will be removed from queue

I replaced the real domain X, but thats the idea.

I am able to e-mails that domain to send via hotmail, and I am able to receive emails from the domain yyyyy.net both my hotmail and my own domain name.

I emailed my hosting company and they said it was yyyyy.net ” s DNS server company is ruined. But who is right, I feel like Im really jerked around by my ISP. It makes no sense that works in all directions, except I am sending e-mails to and that is yyyyy.net yyyyy.net s DNS server business. Would not my business to be taxed?


Best Answer: if there is a link, hover over the link and copy down the location (mailto:EMAIL_ADRESS_HERE). Then, LOG ON via rhw internet. After that, hit compose. I take it that your mom's email is the main account.

Re:Can anybody confirm this theory. I mean it makes sense to me, but whenever I post for help on dixiesys I get some response by somebody that it is not their problem, but the other domain's DNS server. Since I don't really understand that much about DNS servers and such, I'm not all that comfortable in making a call on this. But if people can give me more backup, or can confirm this theory then I'll be more comfortable in calling them up, or posting another help/complaint online.

The other oddity is that I can reach www.yyyy.net, the webpage for the previously mentioned domain name. So is it still possible that my DNS servers are screwed up? Because I know for a fact that the web server for that domain name is the same machine (and IP) as the mail server.

Re:OK, sounds like it is in your domain host's dns.
A short term fix is to use your ISP for outgoing mail. Use their server for smtp. It might take a while to sort the rest out.

Re:ok I did an nslookup and it sees the server and knows the address….but what does that mean. So I am guessing that means my ISP knows the server. But isn't it my domain hosting company that is the issue here. I am using Earthlink. So yes, earthlink sees the other domain name in question. But when I send mail, I am sending it through an SMTP server from my hosting company (Earthlink is my ISP, dixiesys is my domain hosting company). So it is Dixiesys that doesn't see squishy.net correct? What's up, I am confused.

Re:do an nslookup from your computer for the domain in question. If that works, then your ISP at least has the info.
