Interesting... we just started getting a bunch of these too. I wonder if there's a glitch on their side.
I just did an MX lookup for sbcglobal.net, which yielded a bunch of hosts with prodigy.net hostnames: ;; QUESTION SECTION: ;sbcglobal.net. IN MX ;; ANSWER SECTION: sbcglobal.net. 4021 IN MX 10 sbcmx4.prodigy.net. sbcglobal.net. 4021 IN MX 10 sbcmx5.prodigy.net. sbcglobal.net. 4021 IN MX 10 sbcmx6.prodigy.net. sbcglobal.net. 4021 IN MX 10 sbcmx1.prodigy.net. sbcglobal.net. 4021 IN MX 10 sbcmx2.prodigy.net. sbcglobal.net. 4021 IN MX 10 sbcmx3.prodigy.net.
