We are currently experience a problem with our mail server being able to deliver messages to Earthlink. The messages are returned after 5 days with the following error:

Deferred: Name server: earthlink.net.: host name lookup failure

I was wondering if anyone has experienced this problem before and can lend a little guidance.

I am running Sendmail 8.8.6 on an HP-UX 10.20 server.

Thanks

Brian Barbour
