First, from my perspective as a listowner, I've found that for
addresses of the form aaa.bbb.org.domain (especially when it's the
'edu' domain), I tend to have success if I write to
[log in to unmask] *and* to [log in to unmask]  So
[log in to unmask] would be a good bet, as well as the two you
tried.
 
Now my perspective as someone from Penn: John is still here, but I
think if you wrote to [log in to unmask] your mail might go to
someone else (though I'm not sure to whom), so I suggest using that
address, since John's current duties might not include postmaster-ing.
 
On the issue of how current the InterNIC listing is, I'll forward your
note to someone who can get it updated.  (That is, it might be best if
you pursued your e-mail bounce questions yourself, but I'll make sure
to get someone's attention on the InterNIC listing.)
