It shouldn't be. Our ISP does want to have our MX records since they do not host our dns, at least that was what their representative said when I told her of my network changes. > so it seems that, to begin with, you have some inconsistency in what we > can see of your network, the answers i'm seeing from this USA-based NS > being the old ones. > > Notice that from USA, I'm getting MX pointing to otto., which it seems > not to be taking connections on tcp/25. galley OTOH smtp listening on > tcp/25. > >> There may be more at stake here: If this doesn't work well, then any >> credibility that I have with my employer concerning using open-source >> may be exhausted. > > > this doesnt seem at all a problem of 'MS is better than OS' or otherwise > (wont enter in that argument anyway) - just DNS not propagated yet, and > not much you can do about that but to wait it out, other than giving > otto's IP to galley for the time being so all smtp traffic goes to the > box that is working. > I'm not making it out to be an os holy war, but the powers that be say "but we've always used Windows, why use something else?" > Next time, you may want to reduce your refresh settings in your zone > before you perform a drastic change. > >> Any other conf's I should show? >> > > I'm not too sure the exact configuration you have / intend to have. do > you want galley to forward emails to otto? > galley should be the sole handler of mail, coming and going. Otto should have nothing to do with our services anymore. Notice that I'm able to send and receive to this list without any trouble. My computer (this is my first month at this job) was statically set to use otto for lookups. So is every other computer at my employment. I know I'll need to change everyone's settings (probably a Labor Day weekend project.) > regards, > beto > I really do appreciate your response.
