Hi, After switching to google public dns, everything worked (mail,
browser, everything) until I tried to send an email to a hotmail
account. Rejected. Over and over, with or without attachments. Put
back original DNS setting and it worked fine. I use a DLink router,
so settings are there. This is informational. I just wanted to report
the problem.

Fred,

I was unable to duplicate the issue. I have a netgear router and I
have the DNS settings entered into it. I sent an email from my gmail
account to my hotmail account. I'm running chrome and windows 7.

Fred-

This shouldn't be an issue caused by Google Public DNS, but any more information that you feel comfortable to provide such as traceroutes, nslookups, etc to help us determine the root cause would be greatly appreciated.

Do you operate your own mail server? If so, this is a bad idea if you
are sitting on a network with dynamic (dialup) IP-Adresseses. These
addresses get blocked by many recipients (including hotmail). But this
has nothing to do with using GDNS.

If you are using your providers mailserver or even webmail, the mail
is acutally sent by the provider or operator of the webmail interface.
Again, this is independent whether using GDNS as your local DNS or
not.

Who is getting this "rejected" message? Is it you as a user of a
webmail or mail client or is it a mailserver you are operating or you
have access to ?
