It could have been reverse-DNS or another networking issue,
because I emailed my colocation company the day before and
they said they will look into it and I can see that it got
fixed today. They didn't send any explanation, though. So
I wonder what the problem was and how they fixed it, but
certainly not related to my system's settings because they
didn't need to access it.
