[Mailman-Users] Problem with DNS resolutions

[Matthew Seidl]

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?
