Dear Dan,
Your going to love this: I decided I should just re run the test so that I
know the log was of it. and of course like merthys law, it decided on its
own to start working. so I left with just a belief of why it was not
working.
I believe that when I tied to send an email to erols, that erols would
quarry the dns of some other server to verify that I was a real email
address. but since the domain (and its name servers) where so new, the dns
records had not had a chance to be passed down the line to all the other dns
servers. so apparently percents might be the answer to this issue.
I only wish I new how to check to see if dns info had passed down the line,
I tried using dig but it would verify that the name servers and ip are at
erols server and the email would still not work.
And I wish I know how to nug some of those servers to check out my dns.
But anyway thing I regret the most was that I was hopping to learn a little
more.
Thanks for all your help,
Nonlin
