I take it this is a Samba AD DC, so are you using the method on the
link I posted (or something similar) ? If so, have a look in
/var/log/syslog
It sounds like you need to stop your Windows clients from trying to
update their own dns records, you can do this on each Windows client,
or by using a GPO.
PS, what email client do you use ? So I can avoid it, it is terrible :-

Yes this is a Samba AD DC.? Would I just need to disable the "Register this
connection's address in DNS" in the windows network settings???
I'm using Yahoo's webmail.? :)? Not sure if there's a setting
I'm missing in there as well.??
Thanks
