    We have exchange 2000 running on a windows 2000 server
    box. Suddenly, no one can send internet email. Internal
    email works fine and we can REVEIVE internet email but we
    can not send. All get returned to the sender.
    I've checked the 7 Exchange services and they all seem to
    be running/started. I've looked through the Exchange
    System Manager and things appear to be ok. When i look at
    the Event Viewer, it has many "Errors" stating that
    the ""Registration of the DNS Record failed with the
    following error: DNS Server unable to interpret format"".
    I can ping the DNS server just fine. I'm lost. if
    anyone can help i'd appreciate it.
    thanks
    Dan...
