Sorry all, I deleted a message from Keith on a problem posting, so I'm
going to discuss it here so he can get things figured out.
------------------
Keith, your system looked up the old IP address for the mail server for
woodwind.org; that IP address has been defunct for 2 months now, and
before the changeover to the new server the timeout was set for a 5 minute
expiration time. It appears your DNS _never_ times out - I've not heard
of a server caching an IP number for 2 months! In any case, that DNS
server is broken and whoever is administering it needs to be notified. But
...

Your personal mail to me at woodwind.org works ... I'm puzzled! Are you
sending from 2 different machines? If not, then your mail to me personally
should not have worked, either. Woodwind.org is the domain, and looking up
the mail server record should return the same thing, whether or not it's
charette@-----.

You'll need to talk to your email administrators at that end to see what
the heck is going on.

Mark C.
