[Magdalen] test

[Sibyl Smirl]

So now I know what human to yell at when it gives me trouble!  Last 
year, when I was still on dial-up, I compiled a long list of ip numbers 
belonging to ckt.net, any of which I might randomly get when I 
connected, that would bounce off Magdalen, and after I had my list 
pretty much complete, I'd check my number when I connected, and if it 
was one of the bad ones, cut off and reconnect until I got a good one. 
But when I started getting the bounces, and didn't know that it was the 
IP number, my yahoo address always worked.

Just so you know, we do occasionally get a spammer working off ckt.net, 
but as soon as the guys catch him, he's gone.  You don't need to bounce 
the innocents, after he's used a number once.

This was what it said this time, which I didn't fully understand, but 
the "not found" deal did sound like the DNS thang, and the name 
"Barracuda" was definitely in there.
