RE: Strange email sending problem

[rob@xxxxxxxxx]

I don't know if this has anything to do with it, but, if you go to 
http://www.zmailer.org/mxverify-cgi.html
and look up dilgardfoods.com you'll see that it finds two mx records 
(always better to have more than one).  A "very weak" tradition is to use 
mail1.xyz.com and mail2.xyz.com.  Seeing an entirely different domain, 
(which I assume is because of an outside virus cleaning service), might 
confuse people.  Or at least throw up an alarm.  That is his theory.

I gather what you are saying is there is a problem because our iSeries at
192.168.0.1 is "as400.dilgard.com" on our internal network and my email
address is "@dilgardfoods.com"?  Out iSeries does not have an externally
routable IP address.  It's behind a firewall and router.

I'm dense on this stuff.  If the above is what you're trying to say, 
you'll
have to explain it in more detail.  Why isn't it a problem when I email
elsewhere?
