[thelist] m.e.o hijacked???

[Dean Mah]

Clarification and to squash rumours and misinformation.  Evolt.org was
not hijacked.  members.evolt.org was not hijacked.

Due to a misconfiguration on the secondary DNS where the
members.evolt.org address was still pointing to an old IP.  This IP is
now used by Dan Cody for http://www.f2o.org/.  When Qwest's router in
Chicago failed, the primary DNS was not accessible and incorrect
information from the secondary was propagated to everyone.

The problem on the secondary has now been fixed.  Connection to the
primary has now resumed.  Good information should be winging itself
your way soon.  In the meantime, if you fetch from members.evolt.org,
you may want to temporarily switch to lists.evolt.org.  Of course, if
you are subscribed from meo, you probably aren't seeing this message
anyway.  :)
