I seem to be having increasing difficulty reaching ARMY.MIL and NAVY.MIL subscribers on some of my lists. Connection seems to be intermittant at best. For example, after unsubing one such address, having waded through 20-30 bouncemail notices for that user, I got an anguished note at my personal E-mail address asking "Why?". When I attempted to respond, my (Reply) note also bounced. Is this usual with these nets,i.e., are the admins thereof subject to sudden flight of paranoia in which they isolate their nets from the world? Is this a "known bug" in that there is a bad nameserver or router table entry somewhere? Is there some specific gateway that mail to these IDs could/should be routed through? How does one find out? Please reply direct, or at least cc to me, as I don't get on this list often due to time constraints. Thanks in advance. W. K. (Bill) Gorman
