Interestingly, I used to have problems once. My provider had a problem in which it's users would stop being recognized at times, resulting in 5xx messages. It would last only a few minutes (well, it could last longer at night), but it would happen again and again throughout the day, which, I guess, generates the pattern that leads jmb to unsubscribe people. The funny thing is... the problem happened because of a bug on FreeBSD's nis. :-) -- Daniel C.
