Thanks for looking into it. You must be getting the same result as one of my machines, but not the other. The other of the two machines shown above (www.volano.com) gets DNS TCP queries just fine, as shown here (with the "-T" flag):

I apologize for confusing the issue with the "DNS Timeout" message on the second machine behind the router (www.commspeak.com). Are you using python-policyd-spf and getting AOL messages without problems? For now, all messages from all AOL addresses are rejected (temporarily, over and over again) if I enable python-policyd-spf. Thank you, John -- python-policyd-spf failing on AOL SPF records. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/205254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
