* This is the modus mailing list *

Disregard... I figured it out...

Turns out it was my own fault.
I was experimenting with an idea I got off the VOPRadius list about
using wildcard DNS for redirecting users.  While this by itself was not
the problem, my Modus server's tcp/ip settings had the wild-carded
domain listed in its "append these suffixes to DNS".  Therefore, when a
lookup on relays.ordb.org failed, it then added the wild-carded domain
as a suffix to relays.ordb.org and checked again -- giving an incorrect
reading and blocking the email.

The hard lesson learned here is don't experiment with production domains
unless you're a beta tester named Drew with a "No Guts, No Glory"
slogan. :)
