I couldn't get the host table *or the domain database* changed, so places like sushi.stanford.edu, mcc.com, a.isi.edu (a *root domain server*!!!) bounced mail headed our way for 5 weeks. I'm running all the correct software, i'm hip to the "now it's your namespace, now you have control over it" thang, but I think it's a bit naive to say that "Ah well, 1% of the time, you'll lose" ... Summary: Mark, i'd appreciate it if you'd try a bit harder not to bounce my mail. Thanks. /jordan
