Our DNS admin has checked all the DNS entries and it is pulling up the
correct mail servers for @home.com . We have telneted to port 25 on the
@home ip addresses and are able to connect (some of the time). We are
running about 200,000 messages a day through the server and only have
problems consistently with @home.com . We also run a seperate server that
distributes about 30,000 newsletters 5 days a week and it has the same
problem. Neither machine is blocked by MAPS or ORBS (I have checked). So I
would say that the mail is flowing fairly well.
