[IRCA] List Server Problems

[Barry McLarnon <bdm@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Here's an excerpt from the mail headers on a recent list posting by Walt 
Salmaniw:

>Received: from mx2.zoneedit.com (mx2.zoneedit.com [64.34.180.101])
>        by dallas.kotalampi.com (8.13.8/8.13.8) with ESMTP id kAB3Sjn4014810
>        for <IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Sat, 11 Nov 2006 03:28:45 GMT
>Received: from pd4mo2so.prod.shaw.ca (shawidc-mo1.cg.shawcable.net
>        [24.71.223.10])
>        by mx2.zoneedit.com (Postfix) with ESMTP id 790237CB297
>        for <IRCA@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>; Wed,  8 Nov 2006 20:33:45 -0500 (EST)

This shows that it took more than two days for this message to reach the 
server hosting the list (dallas.kotalampi.com, aka hard-core-dx.com) from
its mail forwarder, mx2.zoneedit.com.  This likely indicates that the server
was off-line for all that time (normally, the mail would have gone directly to
the server rather than through the mail forwarder, according to the "MX" 
records that exist for hard-core-dx.com).  So, it seems that there is 
something seriously wrong with the server itself, or its connectivity with 
the net.  I don't know who is responsible for the server, but they should be 
taking a close look at this...

(For the record, this is being sent at 12:50 pm EST, Saturday afternoon)
