I have a person on one of my lists who's DNS server went away. Ever since, all the messages sent to me mailman setup seem to be getting stuck. Even to lists this person is not on. Some log execerts.

The sytem is FreeBSD 4.2, using Sendmail 8.11.1. Until this happened, everything was working fine. So, is this a mailman bug, where its getting stuck on only messages to this person? Or a sendmail issue with not delivering past the bad address? The thing that's really confusing me is the messages in the qfiles directory for lists that the bad user isn't on that are not being delivered.

Help?
