I am user of, and a reseller for Preserv8 http://www.ctseuropa.es Preserv8 provide a unified platform which whilst similar to Postini in many ways surpasses it in many others. It has been written from the ground up in .net and is the only S+S unified mail platform certified by Microsoft. Their patented approach to Spam employs heuristic (rule based) and bohesian (reputation based) filters. From a user perspective - I now have confidence with my DR plan as I never run the risk of losing any of my mails. - I can review my mails from anywhere in the world in their original html formatting - All my organisations mails are branded in the cloud - SPAM has been virtually eliminated - And most of all I receive BI reporting which helps me with marketing campaigns etc. Following the success of this oursourcing we are now actively reviewing other areas of the business to outsource.

Recently there was a conflict between Comcast, a major US ISP, and OpenDNS that intermittently had a similar result to what you're describing. Comcast is in the process of intercepting unanswered DNS requests and redirecting them to a Comcast-owned page. OpenDNS behaves in a similar manner, so the two were butting heads and leaving many customers with major connectivity problems. Hi Joey,

(my ISP refuse to answer this) i'm in indonesia using Telkomsel ISP. about three days ago, i stumble upon same problem, i lost connectivty to internet.

however, after several self test i found that:

1. i can’t resolve the IP address.
2. tracert using server name, failed, but tracert using the IP address works (such as openDNS server).
3. tracert without option [-d] doesn’t reveal hops names.
4. i can ping any server using their names, but they ping-able with their IP addresses!

with that i suspect it was DNS server problem, as i change DNS server into ISP assigned, i back online.

i haven’t suspected openDNS yet, but i need to confirm this:

is it possible for ISP to block DNS request if such request was not directed to their own DNS server ??
