OK, this is the 2nd time i've had to point this out.
sorry to get all uppity, but WILL SOMEONE IN CHARGE OF EVOLT.ORG DNS LOOK AT
THE FREAKIN RECORDS _YOU_ HAVE :)
check this out:

Domain servers in listed order:
NS1.STARKMEDIA.COM 63.237.54.2
NS2.STARKMEDIA.COM 63.237.54.248
-------------------[ ok lets ask ns1 what the MX records are
einstein:~> host -t mx lists.evolt.org ns1.starkmedia.com
lists.evolt.org MX 10 leo.evolt.org
lists.evolt.org MX 20 farmer.oracular.com
-------------------[ and lets double check with ns2
einstein:~> host -t mx lists.evolt.org ns2.starkmedia.com
lists.evolt.org MX 10 leo.evolt.org
lists.evolt.org MX 20 farmer.oracular.com
-------------------[ and lets make sure my local knowledge is ok
einstein:~> host -t any ns1.starkmedia.com
ns1.starkmedia.com A 63.237.54.2
einstein:~> host -t any ns2.starkmedia.com
ns2.starkmedia.com A 63.237.54.248
Proof positive. Will someone reset the lower priority MX record to point to
somewhere that works, or will someone sort farmer to deal with it more
intelligently?
THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM AT MY END :)
