Subject: SMTP from tomts*.bellnexxia.net


  Some problem exists within the Bellnexxia network which is causing mail 
from that network to be properly delivered.   A mail connection is opened, 
and it eventually just times out.

  Since there are large numbers of these connections left open, a huge
number of resources were being tied up on the main mail.flora.ca server.  
I have had to firewall off connections to port 25 (SMTP) from that network
to mail.flora.ca temporarily as they clear out the problem.  Email will
get delivered via the backup MX servers which are currently not as busy.
