Just had a little problem with the one list that I'm running on mj2.
The problem was caused because the domain name of one of the addresses
on the list ceased to be valid (I think the primary domain was offline
for longer than the SOA expiry, or the secondary is not properly setup,
or something).
What happened was that the message sent to the list hung, I assume
because sendmail was attempting to resolve the domain. This might be
something particular to my sendmail/named setup (again), but I wanted
to let you know anyways. :)
Once I removed the unresolvable address the list worked fine.
Some symptoms:

Nothing was logged to the mj_resend log because I killed the perl
process - in retrospect I should have let it timeout and see what
was logged, but... oh well. I suppose I could put back in the
unresolvable address and see what happens, but I'd prefer to actually
have the list work for now.
