It means that you (or someone using your nameserver for recursive resolution) is using a relays.monkeys.org DNSBL somewhere in your mail configuration. The lists there were shut down, but a lot of queries were still being made, so the DNS was changed to point queries to 244.254.254.254. That is a bad address, so named logs it. -- Chris Adams <cmadams@xxxxxxxxxx> Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
