Sounds like an intermittent DNS problem (not to be confused with an
intermittent DSN problem, though the former can lead to the latter ;-).
My DNS returned an IP # of 204.7.246.134, and I just had the following 
conversation with their server:

>220 geocities.com ESMTP GeoCities Sendmail 8.7.5/8.7.3; Tue, 11 Mar 1997 08:16:3
>0 -0800 (PST)
>quit
>221 geocities.com closing connection

... so it's up and running.

If you run a mailing list and are tired of manually processing mail bounces,
then you probably need SmartBounce. For more information, send a blank email 
to <smartbounce@bsabio.com>.
