I suspect that the problem might be that a forward lookup returns a different IP address. That is: domain.net --> 172.1.1.1 While 209.1.1.1 --> domain.net Because the domain is redirected normally to domaindirect servers. I probably need to change the primary DNS entries, but I'm not certain yet. GOD!!!! I hate the hoops we need to go through to avoid filthy spammers!!!!
