If it is a DC then it should have DNS, but it should not be running as a mail server, at least it is not best practice anyway. If it is not a DC then it shouldn't need DNS. In a proper situation the DC would run DNS and would use the ISP's DNS as a Forwarder in the Forwarders List within the DNS Service Config. MDaemon would then be run from a different machine and would use only the DC/AD/DNS as the DNS Server. -- Phillip Windell www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------

Re: Email and DNS "A, Deji" <deji[ at ]akomolafe.com> 10/22/2008 2:16:39 PM In DNS management console, create an A record for the name of the server. What result did you get from dnsstuff.com?
