Today I noticed an unusual delay when sending mail between two of my
computers, along with something I'd never seen before in one of the
Received headers. Quoted here is the relevant header:
Received: from scylla.ellipsis.cx ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by softdnserror
with SMTP; 6 Jun 2001 06:15:47 -0000
This would seem to indicate some sort of a DNS problem, I gather.
Charybdis, the machine receiving the mail, is also my DNS server, which is
working fine, as far as I can tell.
Just now, when I tried to generate another example of the problem, I
noticed that it seems to have fixed itself, at least for mail being sent
from scylla to charybdis. The Received header I got this time is just like
the ones I was getting before the problem started:
Received: from scylla.ellipsis.cx ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) by 192.168.254.101
with SMTP; 6 Jun 2001 06:54:31 -0000
But I still get the softdnserror header when sending mail from charybdis to
scylla, and I know this wasn't happening yesterday.
Any ideas about what's going on here? I'm stumped.
