The reason is the installation of a new SMTP system. I ‘am migrating from Courier-MTA to Exim4, ultimately bringing some new features to the mail system like Sieve, greylisting and two-stage-spamassassin-checks.

In technical terms requests to their servers either timed out or returned a NXDOMAIN answer, which states that the domain does not exists.

Running traceroute6 from the tunnel-end-point worked fine, although i could not get any further than to the first hop from the clients.

More information on this can be found here: http://fm4.amd.co.at/ Meanwhile the streams will be offline.
