Yes, it wasn't my usual mailer, which was messing up weirdly. That
mailer is closer to the mailbox, in a sense, but it didn't work at the
time either (just spooled, it seems).

It seems they turned the networking at bham.ac.uk off some time late on
Thursday, whilst I was using it, causing all sorts of things to break in
weird ways. I fell off the Internet shortly later, and have only just
got back to it.

I sent a test message to s-d to try to figure out what was happening; my
messages to a-d hadn't gone through, and I wasn't receiving from either
the Agora or B mailing lists; but I was receiving emails sent directly
to me. Still not sure exactly what happened. (Also fun was that when I
attempted to send messages, not only did it fail, but I got a different
error message each time, more or less; I must have got about 6 different
errors by now.)
