Thanks for the info. I think I have traced it to my DNS entry for the MX record have a fairly long timeout, and since apache.org keeps a cached entry to its fullest extent, it took longer for the IP change to be "seen" by the apache.org servers than "any" server, which just wait for the domain DNS entry, which I'm not responsible for. Now everything came in, kind of a avalanche effect ;o) Sorry for bothering everybody. Niclas
