Hi,


For the past a couple of days i have been encountering
the message:

the DNS server encounterd an invalid domain name in a
packet from 192.5.5.241. the packet was rejected.

what is going on. I have also noticed that when we send
an email to some sites like yahoo mail...it doesnt
reach ..is this related to the DNS problem ?


thanks
 
A 5504 error is stating there is an invalid character in the domain or host
name. Have you checked to see if there are any underscores or any other
charactes coming from the IP address in the error message?

Read this please:

As for mail, can you ping www.yahoo.com or any other addresses?
Do you run your own mail server?
If so, is there a reverse entry for the mail server's IP address? (some mail
servers will block mail if there is no reverse entry).
