[TheForge] theforge host, mailman.qth.net is braindead

[Gabriel Cain]

Terry,

Your DNS servers are broken.  This is your issue.

n=[NS2.ZONEEDIT.COM NS3.ZONEEDIT.COM STRAUSS.BLAUEDONAU.COM
EDGAR.BLAUEDONAU.COM JOHANN.BLAUEDONAU.COM]

gabriel at hermod:~$ for h in $n; do echo -n "dig @$h: "; dig +short
blauedonau.com @$h; done:

dig @NS2.ZONEEDIT.COM: 192.64.147.142
dig @NS3.ZONEEDIT.COM: 192.64.147.142
dig @STRAUSS.BLAUEDONAU.COM: ;; connection timed out; no servers could be
reached
dig @EDGAR.BLAUEDONAU.COM: ;; connection timed out; no servers could be
reached
dig @JOHANN.BLAUEDONAU.COM: ;; connection timed out; no servers could be
reached

You should fix them.  Or ya know, stop self-hosting.  It's 2016.

-Gabriel
