Almost.  We're about two weeks behind halcyon, due to a problem in
a script file, but should be a 'true' mirror very soon.  Also, it
is a misnomer to call it ftpmail, as there's not ftp involved.
Mail to mailserv, or archive-server, or... will suffice.  I'd rather
folks use halcyon for archive-server mail requests and remote for
anonymous uucp, but I'm not going to turn anyone away.
