	Indeed, after seeing that message, I re-checked the list of 
mailman mailing lists at <http://www.list.org/lists.html> and noticed 
that it was there.  I don't know why, but I must have missed that 
every single previous time I saw that page.

	There seems to have been some problems with it before then -- see 
Barry's message dated Mon Jan 12 18:28:24 EST 2004 at 
<http://mail.python.org/pipermail/mailman-users/2004-January/033888.html>.

	It looks like it's off-the-air:

% lft www.listowner.org.

	There is an advertised mail server:

	However, all I get is a timeout when I try to connect to this machine:

% telnet sparky.cisto.org. 25
Trying 69.26.234.42...
telnet: connect to address 69.26.234.42: Operation timed out
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host

	I can trace to it fine, though:

% lft sparky.cisto.org.

	Maybe we need to give Norbert a call?  Unfortunately, while his 
address appears to be in Switzerland, the phone number appears to be
