Hi,
Just a little investigation.
$ nslookup
> set type=mx
> outblaze.com
outblaze.com preference = 20, mail exchanger = mg.hk5.outblaze.com
outblaze.com preference = 10, mail exchanger = spf1.hq.outblaze.com
I was curious if they both ran the same MTA, so I checked it out.
$ telnet spf1.hq.outblaze.com 25
Trying 202.77.223.28...
Connected to spf1.hq.outblaze.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 spf1.hq.outblaze.com ESMTP Postfix
$ telnet mg.hk5.outblaze.com 25
Trying 202.123.209.152...
Connected to mg.hk5.outblaze.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mg.hk5.outblaze.com ESMTP Sendmail 8.11.2/8.11.2; Thu, 7 Jun 2001

What are the probabilities of the Sendmail server being the one causing
the problems? What if the mail admin of mg.hk5.outblaze.com has used
some sort of patch that is causing qmail-remote's to hang? Has anyone
communicated with outblaze.com's postmaster?
