Ditto for my list, mindspring.com and a whole lot of other ".com" host
The bounce said "Name server: xxxx.com host not found"
They occured (20-30 of them) from 07:00 EST to 16:00 EST
They all come from LISTSERV.BROWN.EDU the Ultrix gateway (LISTSERV is on
the VM mainframe) ...

Any word on one "big name server" or backbone connection being
 down today ? Is that a sign of future major troubles ?
