[gentoo-server] Mail server routing problems

[Javier Marcet]

Hi there,
I run my own mail server, Postfix, for me my family and some friends. As
many of you I subscribe to many mailing lists, and some time ago I began
having problems receiving mail from some of them.

Namely: gentoo bugzilla, reiserfslist and all the lists at vger.org
(i.e. lklm or raid).

The symptons are that I just don't see any connection made from those
their respective servers. Postfix sends the subscription request just
fine --mails are acknowledged as valid by the mail server at the other
end--, but that's all. I won't see ever again any sign of life from
them. It is not my mail server blocking/dropping the connection, nor is
the firewall --they all all recorded on my logs--. Those waited for
connections never happen.

What could it be? It just began to happen one day on lklm and some time
after also on reiserfs. Later I checked that I couldn't use my bugzilla
account anymore.

Since I simply don't see any attempt of connection to my server, and I
receive mil from many other servers just fine, I'm out of clue..

Before anyone suggests it, it is not ECN, since I have it disabled.
