in reply to DNS change now mail not sending

Anonymous Monk,
While mostly OT (off topic), I am guessing that you will find your mail messages queued up waiting to be delivered. From a command prompt, type mailq 
$ mailq

[download]
This probably just requires Sendmail to be stopped and started.

    Thanks the mail queue says it is empty. Anything I can do like that for my Windows 2000?

      Anonymous Monk,
      You said you were using Outlook 2000 to send mail. That is likely incorrect. The client typically doesn't send the mail, the server does. Typically that server is Exchange. If this is the case and it is Exchange 2K - I can't help. In Exchange 5.5, you would go into connections, pull up your IMC (Internet Mail Connector) and check the queue on the queue tab. To "recycle" services, you would go into services and stop and start the IMC. Personally I would reboot the box.

      If you are not using Exchange and the Outlook is a client to something else, you will need to specify more information.

      Cheers - L~R
