Turn off the bubble machine.

Turn off the bubble machine.

[Gene Heskett]

Greetings;

Something is stuck in a loop someplace and I am now being bombarded by 
reject messages from:

Hi. This is the qmail-send program at mail.wdtv.com.
I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following 
addresses.
This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out.

Sounds like an issue on your end, TBH (or rather, mail.wdtv.com).
alum.mit.edu is not a CNAME and has its own MX records (which in turn
point to A records). I'm not aware of anyone else with this problem
(or at least they haven't told me about it). In any case, I have no
control over alum.mit.edu. If you earnestly believe that it's
something wrong on the MIT end (and I'm _fairly_ sure it's not, based
on the message you sent), you can try contacting noc@mit.edu.

Cheers,

Thanks for responding so quickly Ilia.

It seems to me that if you are on this list, you or mit.edu should expect 
to get Cc's and such, effectively private emails from other members of the 
list.  But for qmail to repeatedly send me "I give up bounces" is something 
I have not encountered in all the time we've had this server setup, dating 
from 1999.

Where its at I have no clue, so I am making a little noise in hopes there 
might be a clue in the responses.  So this is also being sent to 
noc@mit.edu.  And I am wondering if that will bounce. :)

Cheers, Gene
