Note that the hostname "lynx.northeastern.edu" has been removed(!!!)
from the database held by the name-server, i.e., "helios.northeastern.edu".
Thus, it **is** an invalid address.  Sigh!
(Had they left that name in the database, we list-owners would only be
handling "unable to deliver for NNN days" messages, rather than "unknown host"
error messages. Sigh!)
