I don't quite know how fulcrum.bt.co.uk got sent to splut!fulcrum. The
fulcrum I feed is a site here in southeast Texas.

I thought domains were supposed to fix this kind of problem.

Anyway, splut is most assuredly not dead. It was sick, but it appears to
be better now. ($%^#$% Microport!) It will become splut.conmicro.com, if
uunet will ever tell me that it's registered.

I've seen some mail get bounced to me by my local fulcrum, intended for
the one in UK. I don't know what to do with it, yet.
