Re: Is anyone having problems with smtpauth.earthlink.net:25? said by antdude:said by antdude:It failed again just now on port 587 with STARTTLS.  And again the last two nights. I bet the Round Robin DNS that EL uses is hitting a bad server and you might try setting your HOSTS to use just one IP to see if you can find one server that isn't flakey.

That's not a factor.

quote:
Although easy to implement, round robin DNS has problematic drawbacks, such as those arising from record caching in the DNS hierarchy itself, as well as client-side address caching and reuse, the combination of which can be difficult to manage. Round robin DNS should not solely be relied upon for service availability. If a service at one of the addresses in the list fails, the DNS will continue to hand out that address and clients will still attempt to reach the inoperable service.
