This is a problem I have been posting about the last couple of days. We see
this problem on two different mail servers. And the problem definitely
seems to be on @home.com end but I do not know why. I do not think it is
a DNS problem but rather a problem with port 25 responding on those IP
addresses.
Here is a snipette from our log files on one message that did get through -
You can see that the server fails to connect to five out of six @home.com
mail servers. We are seeing a 90+ % failure rate on connecting to @home. I
am trying to contact them to make someone over there aware of the problem.
