Email keeps bouncing back
 

"Your message was not delivered because the Domain Name System
(DNS) for the destination computer is not configured correctly"

What is going wrong? According to www.checkdns/net, this mate's xxx.dsl.pipex.com email address should be ok, and I can email him from work. Any ideas?

The email is obviously Alan Partridge :LOL:

Seriously, change your DNS server, it's possible the one you're using is down?

It usually means the server trying to send the mail cannot find an MX record for the destination domain.

1) can you translate into simple language

and

2) how do I change a DNS server?

email is a funny old thing - as ur asking how to change dns etc i doubt ur running ur own mail server so i assusme ur just using a pop account with ntl or someone - if so id say try emailing him again or getting someone else on the same network (isp) as u to email him as a test ..
email is strange.

Thanks.

Emails to my domain ( with a humorous name) are fowarded by UK2.net to the NTL account. Emails go out from the NTL account directly ( I think), but emails to this friend have bounced back for > 24 hours.

AND suddenly, I've started receiving emails that have spent about 2-3 weeks in transit, this morning I got one sent by another chum ( I have > 2 friends) on 9 November!

poo.

Do you have any ideas?
