I've been seeing the issues related to mx1.investici.org on and off 
again for months.  Maybe the main mail server remailer.paranoici.org has 
occasionally been having intermittent issues, like the one on the 7th / 
8th, and that's what was prompting the use of mx1.investici.org.

I'm glad that the information was helpful.

Please let us (or at least me) know when the issue has been fixed.  -- 
I put a temporary workaround on my mail server to ignore MX records for 
{remailer,yamn}.paranoici.org and to always route email to 
remailer.paranoici.org and never use mx1.investici.org (for these domains.)
