Well, but uu.net is in charge for this entire domain, and as long as they don't even install MXes for their subdomains, so you could complain e.g. at postmaster@foo.bar.ca.uu.net, i can't feel with them. I've tried a few times to resolve MXes for the lower-level uu.net subdomains, but it really looks the first level you could send mail to again is uu.net itself. So they have to bear the complaints then. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
