SMTP Headers show that message is cycling between 200.200.200.9 and
200.200.200.40 (it's intranet. don't ask me why we are not using private
address space; suffice it to say we do not export those addresses :-).
Hmmmm. 200.200.200.9 is ethernet port of bsdbv.nembv.cz. This machine
also has a PPP interface with internet IP. But this conference should
definitely stay within intranet.

et cetera....

Reject log doesn't say anything. The message is not rejected.

I used pine to send it from root account. It cycles:
