Re: [SM-USERS] SM can't use DNS names all of a sudden? pls help!

[Jon T. <jo...@tg...>]

I really doubt this has to do with SquirrelMail; it is most certainly a DNS
issue.  Check (and re-check) that _ALL_ your DNS servers (primary and
secondaries) are functioning and are accessible by both the web server and
the mail servers (IMAP and SMTP).  Did any ACLs on firewalls or the DNS
servers themselves change?
