There is something weird there,
I did a DIG for:
is.co.za ns
staffmail.is.co.za ns
staffmail.is.co.za mx
And found that there are NS for staffmail.is.co.za, but not when you ask for
NS records, I got them when asking for MX records.
Very odd, I'd suggest he can't mail the list because Davide has some
verification of Lame DNS configs.
It is quite likely that as staffmail is a subdomain, it has not been
correctly setup.

Hi
Had a mail from Jorn Hass (jornh_at_staffmail.is.co.za) this morning as he's
not been able to get mail into the list since Feb 22.
All I can see is that there doesn't seem to be an NS for staffmail.is.co.za
nor any A record although there is an MX pointing to maibox.is.co.za.
Other possibility is that filters are dropping his mails which I believe are
being accepted by the server.
Any ideas?
Hello David,
Thanks for the reply. Everything worked fine up till the 22nd, and
nothing has changed on the DNS side. (I know, as my team manages the
is.co.za zonefile... :) All of my mails are accepted by the
xmailserver.org, but it seems as if they get discarded internally,
without any notification?
If it was a SORBS blacklisting, I would see that on the logs, but it
doesn't show.
As to the no A record, that is only used for legacy mailers, that do
not understand MX records, which I do not think is the issue here, as
it has always worked... We always ensure that all our mail servers
only accepts from valid domains, and I'm not seeing this issue
anywhere else that I send to, using our setups...
I have a hunch that one of Davide's filters is being overzealous, and
dropping my e-mails. Maybe even Ecartis itself. Almost like I got
black-holed, yet I cannot see why.
Can you possibly just pass my query on to Davide, for him to check
please?
