[sclug] *sigh*

[James Fidell]

I send two messages to the list and one of them gets through.  The
other gets bounced with:

  sclug at sclug.org.uk
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<sclug at sclug.org.uk>:
    host aztec.houxou.com [193.203.240.66]: 550 5.7.1 <sclug at sclug.org.uk>... Re
laying denied. IP name lookup failed [81.2.80.250]

Nice.

Not exactly the done thing to hard bounce a message on a DNS lookup fail,
especially when you can't know that it's not your own nameservers that
might not be working.  A 4xx "try again later" would be a far more
appropriate response.

Of course, I have no idea if this will get through, either.
