The aleax.it domain is basically dead mailwise (www.aleax.it still works
fine) -- I can't reach that mailbox unless I'm on the ADSL supplied by
its purveyor (which, of course, only reaches within Italy;-).  And
comcast doesn't know how to provide semidecent mail service.  But
several addresses of mine should work fine -- I'll try reminding you of
them in private mail.
