(Personally I think it's a bit arrogant of you to assume we all remember the details of your network from week to week, but I'm a grouch, and other's mileage almost certainly varies.) Is your mail server on ethic.thought.org? If so, you're probably just running into a race condition, given that your *only* nameserver for thought.org is also on ethic. Or at least your only announced nameserver. In other words, your mailserver is quite possibly starting up, attempting a dns lookup and timing out, all before your nameserver is up and running. What happens if you restart just your mailserver at this time? If that doesn't resolve the matter, give us some details about where your nameserver and mailserver live, and give us the contents of /etc/resolv.conf on the mailserver, and tell us for which e-mail addresses e-mail isn't flowing. --Jon Radel jon@radel.com
