QUESTION POSED ON: 21 August 2007
I am having problems receiving email from outside our local area network (LAN). Also, it often takes a long time for recipients to receive email sent from the company.
Here is an example of the delayed delivery status notification I'm getting:
---------------------------------------
Your message has been enqueued and undeliverable for 1 day to the following recipients:
Recipient address: username@watertowne.com
Reason: unable to deliver this message after 1 day
Delivery attempt history for your mail:
Fri, 19 Jan 2007 00:24:55 -0700 (MST)
Failed MX lookup; try again later
Thu, 18 Jan 2007 04:18:07 -0700 (MST)
TCP active open: Failed gethostbyname() on mail.watertowne.com, resolver errno = 2
Thu, 18 Jan 2007 02:16:15 -0700 (MST)
Failed MX lookup; try again later
Thu, 18 Jan 2007 00:16:15 -0700 (MST)
Failed MX lookup; try again later
... repeated back to tue.
---------------------------------------
I've been looking on the Web for the last four hours trying to find a way to fix the failed MX lookup, but I am new to this and I haven't been able to find a simple answer to this delayed delivery problem.
I have seen that it could be related to DNS lookup, the MX record or even a possible router failure. Can you help?
