At least one thing has changed, ss.org dns is now synchronized between the 
master (ns.ss.org) and the 3 other working nameservers for the domain.  This 
means that ss.org email will not bounce when lethe.ss.org is unreachable.

There is still this problem:

    fraser at somewhere% host -t mx tlug.ss.org                                          
    tlug.ss.org mail is handled by 1 lethe.ss.org.
    tlug.ss.org mail is handled by 5 ns.ss.org.

    fraser at somewhere% telnet ns.ss.org 25                                          
    Trying 204.225.177.1...
    Connected to ns.ss.org.

If lethe.ss.org goes down all email sent to tlug-HcP7FbCj2GFAfugRpC6u6w at public.gmane.org will bounce.  It 
appears that not many people use the tlug-HcP7FbCj2GFAfugRpC6u6w at public.gmane.org address though, most 
use tlug-jmbJ75VLJBo at public.gmane.org

I believe that there are other problems:

- there may be communication problems with ss.org and the rest of the Internet
  (perhaps just with Sympatico).  Someone a few weeks ago suggested it might
  be a PMTU problem, who knows.
- Sympatico doesn't send all bounce messages.  I have no proof of this but I
  know a lot of my tlug posted didn't show up before and were never bounced
  back to me, a few did bounce back to me.
