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.


Thank you,
Jeff
