Well, it bounces: > Final-Recipient: rfc822;[email protected] > Action: failed > Status: 5.0.0 (permanent failure) > Remote-MTA: dns; [66.111.4.70] > Diagnostic-Code: smtp; 5.1.0 - Unknown address error 550-'5.1.1 > <[email protected]>: Recipient address rejected: User unknown in local > recipient table' (delivery attempts: 0) Hm, IIUC 66.111.4.70 corresponds to mx1.messagingengine.com, a mail router for Messaging Engine Pty Ltd of Bundoora, a suburb of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia... Aha, "Registration service provided by FastMail.FM, Contact: [concealed], Visit: http://www.fastmail.fm/ ". And fastmail.fm is also from Melbourne but at a different postal code. BTW, .fm means "Federated States of Micronesia" (north of Papua New Guinea) but according to the WP, "any person in the world can register a .wp domain for a fee, with a few exceptions like .com.fm, .net.fm, .org.fm" (and their subdomains, I suppose), and "that domain is used a lot by FM and Internet radios" -- and others too, apparently, like that FastMail company, whose email servers are (it is said) in the US. Hm. And, from the FAQ for that fastmail company, it offers email services for free or for a fee (depending on the options you choose and on whether you're a business) to anyone anywhere in the world. Doesn't tell me much, except that from that os_390.txt, Anthony Giorgio used to be an IBM employee (IIUC) at the time when OS/390 was renamed z/OS, at some point corresponding to some version of Vim release 6. Bram, any idea if that EBCDIC port is still supported and who (if anyone) maintains it? Just for curiosity.
