Yes, it is for various servers some of which I have little
control over. I don't get much time to fiddle with my own domain
these past few months, not that I am any kind of expert on this
either. I may have to actually do something I hate: ring an ISP
or two (took 1.5 hours last time I rang about a prob for a site I
am making for an organization. Speaker phones come in handy
then... but it is very aggravating anyway! I must go buy a
headset with mike to keep hands free for talking, I think they
must be available at a reasonable cost...)
I will fire off an email to my own ISP and see what gives, that
may give me further clues for other servers... it seems a bit
complicated, but thanks for your remarks.
