All outgoing mail is ok, as is local mail, and incoming from almost everywhere, but... We found a way to stop this problem, but it is not RFC1700 compliant: by adding a dns record, mfn.org. IN CNAME greeves.mfn.org (greeves is our mail hub) the problem disappears, but so does the ability to maintain secondary bind servers (we already filed GNATS on it). Does anybody know what to do about this? And, are we the only ones who have this problem? Attached is a perfectly typical header from tonights batch of notices... J.A.
