Hi,

It looks as if the distribution jobs for IO-MUG which arrive at
listserv.hea.ie don't include [log in to unmask] in the list
of recipients. They do include other addresses in the .ie domain.
Also jt.thompson is subscribed to other lists which listserv.hea.ie
does deliver successfully, so I doubt there's a problem between
HEAnet and Indigo, or indeed with Indigo's MX hosts.

The distribution jobs for IO-MUG arrive at listserv.hea.ie from
segate.sunet.se. I'd suspect a problem at UTA or between UTA and
SEGATE.

One possibility is that UTA, SEGATE or something inbetween is routing
messages for indigo.ie somewhere other than listserv.hea.ie. This
would explain why the other .ie subscribers on IO-MUG still work.

By the way, I don't have responsibility for listserv.hea.ie (anymore).
I just happen to know where the logs are kept.
