The perl.org mail exchanger hates me

BinGOs on 2008-10-14T22:30:17

Subject pretty much says it all. My MX and the perl.org MX have had a falling out. Now all I get is this:

[canker:~]$ telnet mx.develooper.com 25
Trying 63.251.223.176...
Connected to mx.develooper.com.
Escape character is '^]'.
451 Sorry, too many connections from , try again later
Connection closed by foreign host.
[canker:~]$

Can't find anyone to fix it. Too tired to wait around for it to fix itself.

So the smokers have had their plugs pulled.


Bulk MTA

Are you able to set up a local delivery from all your smokers, and have that local MTA send mail in bulk down a single connection to the perl.org MTA?

This is pretty much what I have using POE::Component::Server::SimpleSMTP, to try and avoid this kind of situation in the first place.

It is still saying I have too many connections ( this is after I have been to sleep for 5 hours ). And I don't.

In that case, it's possible that the perl.org MTA server has suffered a DDoS, such that the connections are not being freed. Hopefully Robert or Ask will be able to look into it soon.
