What appears to be going on is they have registered several bogus email addresses with bogus domains that point to MX records that route through these bogus domains back into MX -> prv-mx.provo.novell.com. They apparantley setup the DNS entries incorrectly, which is causing the buggy NetWare/Groupwise DNS servers at Novell to hang when a connection is opened to port 25 on their primary mail exchanger, and an email loop to form back to majordomo, which has resulted in majordomo freezing up during bulk resend (because majordomo fills up the entire disk with the same messages. The /var/spool/mqueue diretory appears to still have all the emails posted and as soon as we disable routing to Novell's DNS mail exchangers, the messages will repost. We apologize for the list problems, and will have it back up later this evening.
