afaik, the MX with the lower priority is tried only if the higher priority MX is not available. In this case mail.sourceforge.net. I would try a simple brute force method to point out the problem .. ping lists.sourceforge.net reply from .... 66.35.250.206 and ping mail.sourceforge.net reply from .... 66.35.250.206 .. does that mean both the primary MX and the lists server are on the same machine ? if yes, then this might just be the problem. Sourceforge's primary MX is heavily loaded and at times even simple pings time out (as it happened with me), and at those times the lists.sourceforge.net is also not available .. Maybe someone more knowledgeable should be able to point out the exact problem. sharninder ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email sponsored by: Free pre-built ASP.NET sites including Data Reports, E-commerce, Portals, and Forums are available now.
