I've heard a few comments about mail "disappearing" in the .com relays somewhere. Perhaps some anti-relaying is biting? Greg noticed that the ns3.harborcom.net had anti-relay stuff but that he was getting something like 90% of his mail via there, and only a small number via the .sol.net relay. Can we please check these two sites at least for mail jams? peter@hub[11:27pm]~-1009# host mail-relay.com.freebsd.org mail-relay.com.freebsd.org mail is handled (pri=20) by mail.freebsd.sol.net mail-relay.com.freebsd.org mail is handled (pri=20) by ns3.harborcom.net Greg's problem was solved when I directed his mail to go via mail.au.freebsd.org (he's in .au at the moment). This leaves nagging doubts about the .com relays. :-] He's had no mail coming in for periods of 8 hours or so at a time. Are these two relays overloaded? Do we need more .com relays?
