Here is an update based on a few more facts from others.
  * polari no longer talks to uunet but apparently now talks to psi
  * the maps indicate a direct link from psi to polari but uunet is
    sending stuff through nwnexus to ssc which then shows a demand
    connection to mcgp1 who connects (according to the maps) to polari
  * mcgp1 is dead (as that name and connection configuration) and should
    be removed from the maps
  * uunet has now been asked to re-route polari traffic to psi
  * I now have 273 files queued for mcgp1 (and most then to polari) --
    a problem that I am about to correct
  * Some other local people have noted messages that have addresses that
    go through about six local machines and have polari in the path twice
    -- real cute :-)

For those of you on polari who are looking for your mail, sorry.  I will
attempt to find a way to get the stuff we have here forwarded.  I suggest
you ask Bruce or whoever what mail paths work this week.

  Phil, first, if you have a question about polari why not mail root@polari
or postmaster@polari?  

  Second we've switch for reasons of economics to a psi-based news and
mail feed; folks who use our domain name or let smart mailers send their
mail get to us via uupsi4 & company.  If folks send their mail explicitly
through uunet to polari they're doing it by hand; or at least thats how
I'm figuring it.

  Our logon banner states the email address you should use:

  username@polari.online.com

  It's correctly routed and fast.  We've had that logon banner up
for over 4 months now; if folks are using other paths for their mail
it's up to them.

Bruce, you're sounding cynical.  There is a problem with your site's
mail.  There's been a problem in the past with email replies to news
postings your users make.  Instead of saying it's someone else's
problem you should be ensuring that your user's email will get to
them.  There's a problem in the maps, perhaps.  There's a problem
in your cutover from uunet to psi, perhaps.  But there definitely
seems to be a problem in your system's overall administration,
not perhaps.  You've grown beyond a one-admin site.  Instead of
resting on your mongo big laurels, you should take some serious
time to iron out the wrinkles.

Your local problems affect the entire electronic community in
the Seattle area.  Perhaps it's time to rethink your strategies.
