Thank you.

I used to use Verizon as my SMTP provider, but when they bought AOL,
they discontinued serving e-mail and transferred everything to AOL's
servers. I usually have no trouble posting to

gnupg-users@gnupg.org

but that one did not go through.

Yesterday, I did a whois on 204.29.186.9 and it came up as AOL, but AOL
for the .ru area (it came up with other areas where presumably AOL
serves). But today there seems to be only the main entry in Dulles, VA.

If someone had been messing with the DNS, no wonder gnupg.org would be
suspicious.

Right now everything looks OK.

$ dig -x 204.29.186.9
