Mailing server does not resolve

[Jean-Marie Pacquet]

Hi all,

I don't know where I should post this message... Since August 7th, the
server sending lyx-users mails from the list no longer resolves, ie
thales.memphis.edu (IP v4 address 141.225.8.55) no longer has a reverse
entry:

~$ dig -x 141.225.8.55

; <<>> DiG 9.9.7-P2 <<>> -x 141.225.8.55
;; global options: +cmd

As my own mail server refuses to talk to mail servers without a reverse
entry, I could not receive any message from the list since then.

I managed to add an exception to my mail server configuration so that it
does accept incoming mail from thales.memphis.edu but I wonder if I am
the only one getting hurt by the missing reverse entry...

I thought that the mail administrator should know.

Thanks for reporting this, Jean-Marie. I forwarded your report to the
person in charge of the server and he is looking into it.
