I noticed about 2 weeks ago uunet's nameserver
changed from uunet.uu.net to uunet.SCO.net (or something
like that -- I'm using 192.48.96.2 in resolv.conf)

It also appears that name services are off-line on
sunday mornings quite frequently

I noticed that uunet.uu.net stopped accepting SMTP traffic
effective Thursday (they want to use relay1 or relay2.uu.net).

Is there some place where all of this is discussed so we
can find this out in advance?

True.  We've recently disabled the daemon that was redirecting
SMTP sessions from uunet.uu.net to relay{1,2}.uu.net.  It was
widely announced a year an a half ago that uunet.uu.net would
no longer accept SMTP connections.  For best results, use DNS
and a mailer that does MX lookups.

I've sent Larry mail regarding other observations/questions in
his posting.
