Problem with commandprompt.com

Joshua,

I have a problem with the pgsql-es-ayuda list hosted at postgresql.org,
and it's because of your relay (apparently hosting.commandprompt.com,
but the IPs apparently are changing in strange ways).  Please see

http://archives.postgresql.org/pgsql-general/2004-05/msg00016.php

Details are there.

Joshua and I checked things over, and we can't find any errors on his side
to indicate a problem with their servers :( And I checked through the log
files on the postgresql.org server itself, and nadda there ... is it
possible that its something in between?

Note that the relays are setup to use IP, not name, so DNS issues should
be eliminated as potential cause :(

Uh, right.  Thanks for following up.

Things are really strange anyway, because I continue to get a lot of
bounces from subscribers.  As I stated earlier, most people get all
messages without problem.  The rest of them seem to lose some messages
now and then.

Right now I have three people trying to join the list, but the
confirmation message mailed to them is not sent because of this problem.
This is starting to get very annoying, and I'm very sorry I have to
bother you with this but I'd really like to see this solved.

Do any of you have ICQ or some other IM so we can inspect the problem
more closely?  I'm ICQ 57064581 and alvherre@myjabber.net on Jabber.
I'm hesitant to post several message headers on the list.

Actually, a trace of the Received headers for one of the broken messages
could help ...
