Have got the server accessible BTW VIA web-browser- www.giganetwireless.com

I have created all email accounts that are served by this site under ISPConfig.

Using Thunderbird, if I press "Get Mail' the client connects and authenticates to the server, a cert is presented for acceptance after accepting the cert the email status is checked- Thunderbird encounters no errors- yet there is no email to retrieved.

There should be email there however!
I emailed the email address from a Yahoo account yesterday twice!
This morning in the Yahoo email account I see both emails I sent had bounced back.

Code:
<president@giganetwireless.com>:
Sorry, I couldn't find any host by that name. (#4.1.2)
I'm not going to try again; this message has been in the queue too
 long.

What would cause this type of behaviour?
Thanks for your help...

Thank you

Is your domain name brand new? It might just take some time for it to propagate to the DNSs.

It could also be a Yahoo problem. Have you tried emailing it from another email service?

Thanks for the replies...

When I run 'dig @72.169.152.211 any giganetwireless.com' I see the following:

Code:

The domain is not new...
I haven't tried mailing from another service though!!
I'll give that a try.
I did try emailing from another of my own accounts 'presisdent <at> 800coolstuff <dot> com' which is on another server to 'president <at> giganetwireless <dot> com'.
My Outgoing SMTP used in my email client is 'mail.giganetwireless.com'...

When I attempt to send from 'presisdent <at> 800coolstuff <dot> com' TO 'president <at> giganetwireless <dot> com' I am prompted to enter the passsword for the email account 'president <at> giganetwireless <dot> com' on 'mail.giganetwireless.com'- but the server never accepts the password in this case??

While composing this post I did recieve email from the system [source]:

Hmm I just found that I have a lame nameserver using DNSLookup.

Here is the contents of my zone file:

mail.giganetwireless.com.       TXT  "v=spf1 mx ptr ?all"

;;;; MAKE MANUAL ENTRIES BELOW THIS LINE! ;;;;

I use nameservers from my other domain giganetwireless.net as it has Managed DNS whereas giganetwireless.com does not have Managed DNS from the same registrar.

What's wierd is when I am at and run lookups on giganetwireless.com it always states that there are no MX or CNAMES!

But how can this be?
In ISPConfig I have defined both a CNAME and MX records.

I am completely open to any other suggestions ;-)

Thank you Regards
 
giganetwireless.net does not exists!
