Sure.

The 'idea' most appealing to me is to go and get something to eat while you
gather more detailed information.


'log_selector = +all' is your friend.

For example, it helps me to see here that the last message I sent directly to
you logged a TLS problem:

2006-10-04 14:19:00 1GV7aJ-000Fk1-QA TLS error on connection to
linux.bushnet.net [217.212.242.5] (SSL_connect): error:14077410:SSL
routines:SSL23_GET_SERVER_HELLO:sslv3 alert handshake failure

2006-10-04 14:19:00 1GV7aJ-000Fk1-QA TLS session failure: delivering unencrypted
to linux.bushnet.net [217.212.242.5] (not in hosts_require_tls)

Might that be what the other servers are choking over?

HTH,
