The problem with the mail servers has been found and fixed. Turns out it wasn't due to
the changes I had made. One of the open relay databases that we use for checking smtp
servers that we will converse with is currently out of service it seems (mail-abuse.org).
As a result, all the "dns"-style lookups our mail server would do to them to
check for open relays would timeout. I removed the check for that service temporarily
until it's disposition is known. Fear not - we have other services we check for open
relay as well and they are still in effect.
If there are any further problems with the list, please email me directly. And now,
finally, perhaps sleeeeep
Regards,
Jay West
