[NTLUG:Discuss] Mail server not propagating?

[brian@pongonova.net]

Hey, Neil, I'm not Eric, but since you guys are discussing this on-line, I
thought I'd jump in here and ask what, exactly, the problem is.
mail.parasailworkshop.com resolves to 66.181.172.254...is this not correct?
According to your previous posts, this should be the IP address you're looking
for...

Also, if you're using nslookup to verify this stuff, please do yourself a
favor: Remove it from your system and use dig.  dig will provide you with far more
information than nslookup.  Then verify your A record with another server:

dig @curley.dcccd.edu mail.parasailworkshop.com

There's a good possibility the name server you're querying is brain-damaged (and
yes, there are many of those in the world, most of which are running BIND).
