Hello folks;
On this system, I run a Listserv list called Help-Net. It is very busy. One
of my colleagues got the bright idea to set up a ccMail server for our
department here at Temple. This was done about a month ago. The ccMail
package has a bulletin board feature on it. Our ccMail administrator created
a bulletin board on our ccMail server called #Help-Net. The host name for
this server is compserv.ocis.temple.edu. I added a subscription entry to my
Help-Net list for this bulletin board as [log in to unmask]
The # symbol in the address is apparantly required by the ccMail package. As
soon as I did that, the bulletin board started receiving Help-Net postings.
This was fine for a little while, however, after a recent network
configuration change (we installed a router for our department's ethernet
segment), Help-Net mail sent to this address by Listserv started to bounce
with unknown host messages. The network people here fixed that problem and
things seemed okay for a few days. Now, for the past few days, every other
posting or so from Help-Net gets bounced by our mailer with a host unknown
message for [log in to unmask] I won't include a sample
bounced message here because all it says is that the host
compserv.ocis.temple.edu is known, however, a post that might come in for
Help-Net a few minutes before or after a rejected one gets to the host
without a problem. This is very confusing since the problem seems to be
intermittent over the course of a very short time. If anyone has any
suggestions on what might be going wrong, please let me know. Our network
also people say our network is fine and that the problem must be on our VM
system, but none of the other 1000+ subscribers on Help-Net seems to have a
problem getting mail, at least, not like this intermittent situation.
