There are intermittent problems resolving name ``mcimail.com''.  There
are seven name servers for COM.  When I just queried each of them, two
listed ``mcimail.com'' with no problems, two gave authoritative NXDOMAIN
responses, and three were unavailable.  The correct servers
(ns.nic.ddn.mil aos.brl.mil) had a later serial number for the COM zone
than did the erroneous servers (c.nyser.net, ns.nasa.gov), so the
problem will correct itself in time.  However, it could be appropriate
for the managers of the erroneous servers to trigger a zone update if
they can.
