Well, it's possible that hub.f.o was busy.
It may be, however, that the host's sendmail still thinks that it has
the name and IPA that it has at work. But at home, the rest of
the world thinks it is the IPA that it has from sprint. I assume
these are different.
Many overly-anal sendmails will reject connections that appear
to come from an IPA-spoofing host -- it figures you're a spammer
or badboy. Do the bounce messages give more hints? Does /any/
mail at all get through?
