DNS problem?

[kaspaas]

Hi,

a client is reporting

The host 'mail.mtn.co.za' could not be found. Please verify that you have entered the server name correctly. Account: 'abc.xyz.co.za', Server: 'mail.mtn.co.za', Protocol: SMTP, Port: 25, Secure(SSL): No, Socket Error: 11001, Error Number: 0x800CCC0D


Any known DNS problems?

Try OpenDNS as an alternative;

OpenDNS DNS Server IP
208.67.222.222
208.67.220.220

OpenDNS was down at this time yesterday. Or at least unreachable from some networks.
