Cheers Jonathon,
Fair enough on the MSFT responses I suppose, I usually
post in the SQL Server newsgroups, we tend to get quite a few MSFTs on there,
probably as its a pretty large area of Microsofts business. I only asked the
question as after going through all the usual routine I was still having
issues, and googling for it produced a large number of recent (last couple of
days) issues. Funnily enough it seems to be ok now, based on the previous
posters fix I suspect this was probably a DNS server failure for the mail
beta?????? Guesswork though
Thanks for the heads up on the probable levels of response
Nick
