Hope that somebody around here can look at this.

mx3.redhat.com is broken.

<fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx>:
   mx3.redhat.com [66.187.233.32]:

DATA

<<< 451 4.3.0 Problem running virus-scanner

It's rejecting all mail now. mx3.redhat.com is the primary MX for@redhat.com. Not all mail servers will retry other MXs, if DATA getsdeferred at the primary; this is considered spammish behavior in somecircles. Some mail servers do retry the backup MXs, which is why there'ssome trickle of list traffic now, but I suspect that ~90% of list messagesare currently bottled up at the senders' mail relays.

And I was wondering why my list messages sent earlier today haven't shownup. Now I know (after taking corrective measures…)
