[Peace-discuss] flaky peace/peace-discuss at anti-war.net -- "User unknown in virtual alias table" errors

[David Green]

I had a message not go through at all a few days ago on anti-war, so I've been using Chambana ever since, which seems to work fine.

Hello imc-tech people,

Several of us, in writing to peace at anti-war.net or peace-discuss at anti-war.net,
have been getting sporadic errors like these.  The result is that messages are either
delayed, or don't get through at all.  But *some* messages have been going through.

This became troublesome to me today when I sent out (this morning)
an announcement of this afternoon's demonstration, but even people who
happened to be reading mail today didn't see it, since it bounced -- see below.

I'd passed along a report of the same problem, from Barbara Kessel, a few days ago.
Mort Brussel mentioned that he's been seeing similar troubles.

Has anyone had a chance to look at it?  Are the mail server(s) in question
logging anything when these "User unknown in virtual alias table" errors occur?
Is there any way I can look at this? I don't have an account on
mail.anti-war.net = 75.145.177.74 = mccoy.chambana.net.

Do we need to move the anti-war.net mailing lists to other servers?

Yes, remembering Martin Luther King's denunciation of the war in Vietnam,
AWARE will be demonstrating this Saturday afternoon in opposition
to US wars in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan (and where next?  Yemen, Iran, Venezuela?),
and to the states of mind that see military force as the answer to
any question.

Please join us today -- Saturday, Jan. 16th, from 2-4pm, at the corner of
Main and Neil in downtown Champaign.  Bring a sign, use one of ours,
or just stand with us.
