That's what I thought too. We have one customer in particular that seems
to be getting emails that are delayed for some reason and we've been
trying to figure out why one domain is getting delayed when the other
several dozen domains on the same server get emails within seconds.
Then we ran a WHOIS on the domain to make sure they didnt do anything on
the domain level and that's when we noticed the WHOIS info at Network
Solutions is showing the old IP information.
