Description:
I try to send emails to eventum-users, but it fails. 
My account is : marcin.slusarczyk.pl.abb.com.
I receive  following return error message:

This message was created automatically by mail delivery software.

A message that you sent could not be delivered to one or more of its
recipients. This is a permanent error. The following address(es) failed:

  eventum-users@lists.mysql.com
    SMTP error from remote mailer after RCPT TO:<eventum-users@lists.mysql.com>:
    host lists.mysql.com [213.136.52.31]: 450 SPF error:
    SPF record error: DNS error while looking up pl.abb.com A:
    query timed out: retry timeout exceeded

------ This is a copy of the message, including all the headers. ------

(...)

I do not have problems with my email account (marcin.slusarczyk@pl.abb.com). I have noticed such behavior the first time. I cannot send emails also on evenyum-devel list. I get the same error.

My local admins say that our servers are configured correctly. And that it is your problem. That your DNS servers are not updated.

How to repeat:
I guess nslookup on MX pl.abb.com should give some explanation.

Does the problem still exist?

I just tried nslookup from our mail server and could get 
the MX infos for pl.abb.com just fine ...

It was not problem with your site. Our Admins finally fixed problems on our side.
