[ADMIN] DNS whoops

I fouled up the DNS for www.mccmedia.com earlier today for a few hours... but I think it didn't affect mail.mccmedia.com, so I believe list traffic may not have been affected. If you were trying to reach the list archives, things should be back to normal soon, if not already. Nick -- Nick
