I've noticed in the headers that all our messages are going through mybutt
(hardy har har).  ns2.sequoia.net and ns3.lufthans.com are doing DNS for
the plug.phoenix.az.us domain.  lists.plug.phoenix.az.us has two MX
records.  The priority 10 MX record points to lists.plug.phoenix.az.us and
priority 20 points to pluglist.mybutt.net.  Both of these servers are on
the same IP, however, which is the pluglist.mybutt.net box
(cpe-24-221-56-24.az.sprintbbd.net).

So I'm wondering if lists.plug.phoenix.az.us was pointed to mybutt (hardy
har har) a while back when we were having list problems, but was never
pointed back to the PLUG IP: 68.14.214.151
(wsip68-14-214-151.ph.ph.cox.net).

I'd be happy to host the list on a server at my work, if hardware is the
problem.  But if it's just a configuration issue, we really need to fix it
because it's frustrating when messages take so long to be processed.
