I don't believe these machines are in production yet. If you're
getting bounces from them, my guess is that some machine on the
sending end is horribly misconfigured, or it pointing at a nameserver
that has a horribly corrupted cache (I've seen quite a few messages
flowing through or attempting to flow through machines that weren't
advertised anywhere and weren't ready or available for general
production, and from a variety of sources).
If you send copies of all of the relevant mail messages (the
original plus the bounces from each of these machines) to my work
email address (KnowlesB@aol.net), I'll take a look at them tomorrow
and see what I can find.
