Howard, the problem is that your MX record for iamnow.net give an IP
address of 209.113.165.195:
iamnow.net MX 10 saint.iamnow.net
saint.iamnow.net A 209.113.165.195
But the reverse lookup gives Host4.iamnow.net as the server:
Query:All records (ALL):195.165.113.209.in-addr.arpa
Authoritative Answer
195.165.113.209.in-addr.arpa PTR Host4.iamnow.net
I imagine that M$ rejects the download because of this inconsistancy.
