For a short time, the root nameserver at NYSERnet was returning unknown domain
errors in response to some queries - when they fixed their nameserver,
everything went ok.  At this time, everything seems to be working.

During this time, it looks like a few percent or so of the mail was erroneously
returned.  Most of the mail was being delivered correctly.
