Humm... Some of their messages seem hauntingly familiar. :-)
IMVHO, it looks like they've hacked qmail with loads of
patches (like POP before SMTP and such).

BTW, Iname's host is Mail.com and they seem to periodically
have problems with their hosts. :-(

I dream of the day I have a permanent connection to the net so
that I can put a DJB-based solution for my e-mails...

I believe they use it for their outbound queue, but apparently not for
their inbound mail.

I've noticed it the last few days, also.
At times they are 75% of the stuff in our queues!

I think there some problems across the internet in general.  I have
found that various sites across the net have dns or related problems
recently.  I have noticed that the deferral rate as risen the past
couple weeks at least for my mail server.

I'm certainly getting email from this list
But checking one of the Recieved headers I am seeing a 19 minute
delay in Yahoo receiving the message.

I have a number of messages in the queue for yahoo.  Perhaps it's
just one machine that's gone awry?

Hmm.  Telnetting to the server on port 25 says that it is something
called YSmtp.  And sending it a 'help' command returns 
'250 OK.  Yahoo! MTA'.  Sounds like something proprietary...

Or just something hacked up so no one will be able to (knowingly) hack them
if a bug happens to exist in the MTA...

Anyway I'm straying now...
