[Fwd: Re: MX records -- still broken -- resolved]

[Kelly Scroggins]

The problem is resolved.  The mail administrator tells me that, ... at
some point during the night, the MS Exchange-Internet service was turned
off.  Maybe the server turned it's self off?  I don't know.  Maybe the
Leprechauns got in the building.

Thanks
kelly
