In our case, it was a BellFrotz machine that used a FooBell server
as its primary MX. FooBell uses ORBS and rejects all mail from
BellFrotz. Since the two sites are administered under completely
different policies, it's not entirely surprising that they'd screw
the pooch in that particular way. But still amusing.
