There is a HECNET list
http://madame.update.uu.se/~bqt/nodedb?search=&field=0&sort=0
With that in mind, a more list of "live" VAXen of any type, operating
hours, IP/domain, hardware, owner, location. I realize it's not a list of
every known VAX out there, but "live/operational/networking status"
Awesome, mike. Will do. Thanks much.

I wouldn't count on it. I've already run into aspects of mailman which
exhibit astonishing blind spots.
As providers get more crowded, they will have more bounces.
They tend to happen at times when a lot of messages are being
handled.
It seems that the list parameters were set when only a few bounces
