Warning: Verizon Email Is Unreliable

[b0b]

Jeff.

Central.b0b.com is the Forum server in Cloverdale. It sends mail from its "nobody@central.b0b.com" account, and that mail is marked "Reply to: quasar@b0b.com".

I send and receive my quasar@b0b.com mail using register.com's webmail service.

b0b & Wiz,

I'm going to send you both a DNS analysis report via e-mail. Note the continuing CNAME problem with register.com.

Also note the SOA warnings. b0b, if register.com will allow you access, you can adjust those values. I can't imagine why they would have been set so high.

Wiz, some of that 5-day delay could have been faulty DNS lookups between Verizon and Register.com. Have to look at the headers to be sure. But it's interesting that five days is the default maximum retry value in most mail servers.
