*Just for now*, until the regular address (as shown in the reply box) is
fixed and you hear from me.

Here's what happened: Pair did a minor upgrade to all their lists
(thousands of 'em), and pointed the redirect from the list name to the list
name's server *instead* of one of their seven dedicated list servers.

So the correct route has mail to "coco at maltedmedia dot com" be
internally redirected to "coco at five dot pairlist dot net" and then
distributed with the "coco at maltedmedia dot com" return address. All
nicely transparent. You never see pairlist unless you use the archives.

During the upgrade this afternoon, they screwed up the redirections. Ours
was redirected from "coco at maltedmedia dot com" to "coco at five dot
maltedmedia dot com" ... which doesn't exist.

One of those little details that, when propagated to thousands of lists, is
one heckuva headache.

They make very few mistakes, and I've been with them since 1997. So I have
patience.
