   Has anyone been able to mail to c$erve lately?

Yes, about 12 minutes ago.

   The following
   headers were received this morning.  My question is: Should I talk to
   the postmaster at cis.ohio-state.edu or what?

Yes, you should; and it would have worked a whole lot better and more
promptly if you'd just mailed me directly.

Giza (one of the systems which does gateway work for CServe) was
upgraded this past Sunday, and I managed to miss one of the more
important bits of the mail system in the process.  It was fixed less
than 10 minutes after multi-user reboot after otherwise having
completed the upgrade.  Your mail managed to get bitten in that
10-minute window.  Send again; it'll get through now.
