Well, just because the A record is gone doesn't *necessarily* mean the MX
record isn't there too. And since the MX points to sourceware.org by name,
and since that name /was/ resolving to an A record at the time, I think Barry
may have been being subtler than you reckon.
OTOH I see there were no posts for a long time and then a sudden flood, so I
guess both records /were/ missing, after all.
cheers,
