You know what? Tell us about your whole setup before we can help you.<br>
Start from the LAN, the server, to the Internet. Do you have a static
IP? From who? Do you have public DNS/MX records?<br>

The server is a Debian Lenny directly attached to the internet via a
cable modem, no special routers or anything. According to the ISP I'm
on a DCHP service, but the ip has been the same for the last 3-4 years

<div bgcolor="#ffffff" text="#000000"> That in
it self is another story. This is a backup server. But it works as a
primary right now. It has several domains pointed to the IP from
<a href="http://everydns.net" target="_blank">everydns.net</a> (witch is a great free service btw). So yes, I have
several public DNS/MX/A records. Not sure if you need more general
info?</div></blockquote><div><br>What do you mean by several DNS/MX/A records? I'd think you have several domains with same MX/A records pointing to this server, no? But the fact that you have a dynamic IP still bothers me. Is your cable provider also your DNS managers?<br>
Do you have PTR records for your IP?<br><br></div></div><br>-- <br>Best regards,<br>Odhiambo WASHINGTON,<br>Nairobi,KE<br>
