That depends on her old service provider. That company may have decided to deep six all her email, for example. Assuming their setup hasn't changed yet, she should be able to check mail at their server using her old account information. She would then get everything that was sent to her before or during the changeover. Now that the change has happened, it's quite possible that some of her mail has bounced. The reason: The root servers list your server and ns1.lava.net as authoritative for her domain. Your server agrees. ns1.lava.net doesn't have the zone. Therefore, DNS queries to ns1.lava.net for gabbardhawaii.com simply fail. You need to talk to your contact at lava.net about this. ____________________________________________________________________ Chris Buxton Men & Mice cbuxton@menandmice.com http://www.menandmice.com
