Hi Ralph,

The ss.org servers seem to be a bit of a mess, a while ago I noticed that the 
DNS was completely screwed up with 3 of the 4 nameservers hosting old copies 
of the zone ... 2 or 3 emails to various addresses (including the list) and 
that silently was fixed.

The MX record for tlug.ss.org is still screwed up (secondary mx of ns.ss.org 
does not accept for tlug.ss.org).  Most people seem to use tlug-lxSQFCZeNF4 at public.gmane.org as 
opposed to tlug-HcP7FbCj2GFAfugRpC6u6w at public.gmane.org but still the publicly advertised address (see 
http://tlug.ss.org/subscribe.shtml) suggests @tlug.ss.org (at least for 
subscription).

There also seem to be severe connectivity issues with lethe.ss.org.  Severe 
enough that email has been bounced back to me after 4 days of inability to 
connect.  These connectivity issues might be the fault of Sympatico but still 
I would think that is a significant enough population for someone at ss.org 
to care.

You posted about this problem well over a month ago as far as I recall and 
suggested a sendmail fix, since ss.org uses postfix I immediately followed up 
with the recommended fix within postfix.  I'm not sure who runs the list 
really, or if anyone at ss.org is interested in these issues ... it certainly 
appears to me that they are not.  If help is needed in debugging/fixing these 
issues I am more than willing to donate some time.
