Search Again: bogus "No MX or A records..." errors From: Tom Weishaar Date: Saturday, July 19, 1997 Time: 10:09:00 pm I think I've finally figured out how to get rid of the bogus "No MX or A records for this name" errors in EIMS I reported a few days ago (all mail addressed to worldnet.att.net has been returning this error on my server for some time). First of all, I set up a situation where I was sure EIMS could actually get the records for worldnet.att.net. I could get them from QuickDNS Pro on other machines on our network. Thus the problem had to be in EIMS. Going back and rereading the excellent documentation at http://www.pism.com/chapt04/ by Carl Steadman and Jason Snell, I noticed that the default for DNR Cache Entries (Server/Preferences) was 64. I had set mine to 1 weeks ago, thinking this would cause EIMS to give up on caching and just ask QuickDNS Pro for the domain data every time. Big mistake! When I set this back to 64, the bogus errors stopped! There's something going on here you might want to look into, Glenn. (Is the Steadman/Snell documentation on the purpose of "DNR Cache Entries" correct?) -- Tom Weishaar ---------------------------------------------------------------- http://SiteCentral.com/ Web Site Development Corporation
