True. Just a few days ago though I notified Telstra that their name
server for cable customers has a wrong IP address for domain X in it,
resulting in said website being inaccessible for their cable customers.
It took the phone-person (and me) 3 rounds to get the problem across,
apparently Telstra has a mirror setup of name servers and it was working
fine on the techie's computer. Thanks to horse I could quickly verfify
that it wasn't my LAN, and "this website doesn't work for any of your
customers because your DNS is stuffed" gets a lot further than "my
browser doesn't show this website".

Re $SUBJECT, the list works fine for most of us so the problem is with
the subscriber. Subscribed twice? An interaction between the list
server and ISP?
