Yesterday I sent mail to wikidown @ both bomis.com and wikipedia.org; both mails were bounced. Since wikidown@bomis.com was apparently getting spammed, I can understand if it was closed, but what's the new wikidown address?
This was during the server problem yesterday of which I only heard today, since I get only digests of Wikitech-l. It might be a good idea to have another computer that, when larousse/pliny is down, can be assigned the IP .197 or .199, webserve all requests with a message saying when the Wikipedia will be back up, and cache the e-mail to the mailing lists. A regular desktop computer could probably handle this.
