That's not a backup MX, that's a misconfigured MX! Backup MXs should attempt to send the mail on to its original destination rather than clog up some poor unwitting soul's inbox (even if they opted for it :-). Is it possible to get hfb.pm.org in a relaying-only capacity for london.pm.org? I'm happy to offer such services on realprogrammers.com. What was the nature of the r00ting? Perhaps others could learn... Well done for fix0ring it, Paul
