RE: (ET) Elec-trak Gone

["Markus Lorch" <mlorch vt edu>]

To make it even more complicated. My personal email server that I used
the last 5 years is physically located in Germany. Every email I sent first
went to this server in Germany and then was sent to the list from there.
This is the same server you see if you look at my elec-trak 
pictures at http://markus.lorch.net/et
