I have a script here that sends test mail to various servers on thought.org. I just caught this returned mail from qmail here.
From this, it loooks as though though.org has disappeared entirely::
<kline@tao.thought.org>: host ns1.thought.org[216.231.43.140] said: 553 5.1.2
<kline@magnesium.net>... Unrecognized host name magnesium.net. (in reply to
MAIL FROM command)
Or is this thought.org that is not seeing magnesium.net?! Either
way, and whatever else is going on, could my /etc/namedb/*/*
files be involved in this mess? bind9 is one thing I simply
do not touch. Or if/when (abs) necessary, I treat this stuff
like nitroglycerine:)
