My point in posting it was to alert the *list owners* -- hence the posting
to listmom-talk and list-managers. I assume that the information has long
since been forwarded to the server managers -- which, in my book, are a
better target for this information than the postmasters (though there will
often be some overlap there).

Maybe I should add, "If you see your server on this list, alert your
server manager to the problem."
