Thank you, Simon, I will coordinate this change.

Did you find anything wrong with yxa.extundo.com in the timeframe of
issue 34 (http://www.xemacs.org/About/XEmacsServices.html#issue34)
that explains why we lost DNS completely?

Currently sunsite.dk is serving DNS and we need to get the config on
gwyn, ns.sunsite.dk and yxa in sync again.

I'll try to come up with a proposal for a modified db.xemacs file
tomorrow.

staff at dotsrc.org, would it be possible for you to function as back MX?

I realize that's asking for much.

Any other suggestions how we should approach this?

Best regards!

Adrian
