I haven't gotten any BITNEWS postings since sometime in April. There have been 9 postings since then. I pulled the archives a few days ago. I think that either the peering is messed up, or DISTx is somehow broken. I had this problem last year with my TCPIP-L subscription on USCVM, and we ended up reinstalling LISTSERV to fix it. I don't know what the problem was. The LISTSERV maintainer didn't either, which is why he reinstalled LISTSERV. Unsubscribing and subscribing again doesn't fix it either. I tried this both when my TCPIP-L subscription was broken, and a couple of times with BITNEWS. /Leonard
