Nightly thread update mails bouncing... :(

In case you're wondering why you didn't get your digest mail...

Seems the admins made a change to the way the nightly thread update e-mails are send out, instead of the previous "[email protected]" as SMTP sender (not the From: !), they used "[email protected]".

Well, that host or domain ("flyertalk4.flyertalk.com"), does not exist in DNS (up to this moment), and as such neatly configured mailservers will have told the offering mailserver to take a hike, since Spammers use(d) similar techniques for ages. As did mine of course...

I'm starting to think I know what mild withdrawal symptoms look like by now...
