Has anyone seen this type of behavior... I have no idea, my next step is to go to Earthlink and ask them:

Am I missing something... What is looks like from everything I have (same type of stuff as above) is that when the server goes out and does a lookup for earthlink, it sometimes scores correctly and sometimes does not... 207.217.121.201 is not a listed MX pointer, so I don't know where it's coming from. The first example above appears to be a mail server though, so it would seem odd to me. The user this is coming to is a domain hosted with us, and I have an alias setup pointing to his earthlink address (so [EMAIL PROTECTED] --> [EMAIL PROTECTED], which is valid, he normally gets emails okay). The only other idea here is that they are load balancing their external mail handlers and one or more is buggered.
