What has happened to the OSU mailing list?

----- The following addresses had permanent fatal errors -----
<vms-web...@lists.kjsl.com>

----- Transcript of session follows -----
550 5.1.2 <vms-web...@lists.kjsl.com>... Host unknown (Name server:
ironpor2.layer42.net.: host not found)

This has been a problem for at least a few days, and I've tried it from
various email addresses, so I'm sure it isn't a problem at my end.

It is obviously some re- and misconfiguration. A nslookup to lists.kjsl.com
resolves to 198.137.202.3. This one is up and accepts SMTP requests.
A nslookup requesting a MX record resolves to "ironpor2.layer42.net", which
doesn't have any DNS record and therefore cannot be resolved. Replacing
the name with "ironport2.layer42.net" resolves to 69.36.224.25. This host
is up and accepts SMTP connections as well.

It looks like a small typo in the (re)configuration. Hopefully this
doesn't mean that the list has died, but in any case it is not
functioning now.

Does anyone have a contact address for the list owner? If so, please
contact him, forwarding him this post so that he can see what the
problem is. Of course, it would have to be via an address which doesn't
suffer from the same problem.
