Hey guys,
I'm pretty stumped here; as is my Lotus vendor.

We've got two domino servers each on their own T1 pipe. Our MX records indicate that mail1 has a priority of 10 while mail2 has a priority of 50. We had an internal mail issue and decided to shutdown SMTP at the firewall to mail2. Things were going as expected for a day or two and then a few users started to complain that certain outside clients' email were not getting through. We these clients' bounced emails were sent to an offsite email account for inspection the errors were as such, "mail2.domainname.com" is unreachable. We had to remove the 'deny SMTP' rule yesterday, but while the rule was in effect mail2 was replicating fine and the server was configurable in the Admin client.

Why would only a handful of clients be emailing directly to mail2? Our MX records are set up correctly. Is there a way to flush the DNS records (or are they even kept) on the server?

Thanks for the advice!
Dave Nowicki
