You should get three. If you reply, esp from your apana address, I could check a) that you can post to me at least :) and b) see what the headers suggest about reverse IP resolution.

Seems the problem is indeed (at least temporarily) APANA's reverse DNS: gaia: {301} dig -x 203.3.126.1 ; <<>> DiG 2.2 <<>> -x ;; res options: init recurs defnam dnsrch ;; got answer: ;; ->>HEADER<<- opcode: QUERY, status: SERVFAIL, id: 6 ^^^^^^^^ ;; flags: qr rd ra; Ques: 1, Ans: 0, Auth: 0, Addit: 0 ;; QUESTIONS: ;; 1.126.3.203.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN ;; Total query time: 73580 msec ^^^^^ which most likely explains why freebsd.org's mx is ignoring your mail. Probably worth mailing Matt Geier as suggested, and your local Brisbane apana tech bods; I expect they'll want to know .. Oh, it's worse than that .. ns.apana.org.au seems currently broken: smithi on paqi% dig @ns.apana.org.au. -x 203.3.126.1 [..] ;; res_nsend to server ns.apana.org.au. 192.188.107.12: Operation timed out smithi on paqi% dig @ns.apana.org.au. apana.org.au [..] ;; res_nsend to server ns.apana.org.au. 192.188.107.12: Operation timed out Trying another apana.org.au listed ns: gaia: {304} dig @warrane.connect.com.au. -x 203.3.126.1 [..] ;; QUESTIONS: ;; 1.126.3.203.in-addr.arpa, type = ANY, class = IN ;; ANSWERS: 1.126.3.203.in-addr.arpa. 43200 RP support.brisbane.apana.org.au. 1.126.3.203.in-addr.arpa. 43200 TXT "APANA Brisbane" 1.126.3.203.in-addr.arpa. 43200 PTR gargoyle.apana.org.au. ;; AUTHORITY RECORDS: 126.3.203.in-addr.arpa. 43200 NS yarrina.connect.com.au. 126.3.203.in-addr.arpa. 43200 NS ns.apana.org.au. ;; ADDITIONAL RECORDS: yarrina.connect.com.au. 3600 A 192.189.54.17 ns.apana.org.au. 3600 A 192.188.107.12 .. but ns.apana.org.au fails to provide that PTR response right now .. unless apana has _my_ server blacklisted of course :) I'd be mailing that RP too (guess it's support@brisbane.apana.org.au) Cheers, Ian
