MS not scanning some mails.

[Martin Hepworth]

Hi

if you haven't got a local caching nameserver then thats the first thing 
to try...

depends on what nameserver you want to use, but bind is the most popular 
and is very easy to setup this way...

install bind

edit the named.conf file so only has forwarder information for your 
uplink DNS server.

start bind (named)

edit the /etc/resolv.conf so it points to 127.0.0.1 rather than your 
uplink DNS server..
