	If anyone was wondering why the general ML was dead, here's why.
Also it appears that none of the mail routed/MX'd for afterstep.org is
also dead.  This _might_ be one of those "pushes" for us to find a new
host from Caldera.  This is just pure speculation, but food for thought. I
don't know anyone who would want to do this hosting that can be considered
"stable", in that they don't change jobs at their ISP every few months.

Hi David,
My SMTP (on cygnus.calderasystems.com) is blocked by our firewall.  Use jsmith@calderasystems.com
instead.  We no longer administer the machine rim.caldera.com.  We ought to move the afterstep mailing
list off of rim onto our machine locutus.calderasystems.com.  rim belongs to Lineo (formerly Caldera
Thin Clients)  I will ask their sysadmin to free up some disk space on that machine so that the bounces
don't occur.
Later,
Joel
