The latest shell host motd's: . Hijack recovery underway (elr) Sun Jan 16 17:43:28 2005 . . Recovery is underway from the panix.com domain hijack. . . The root name servers now have the correct information, as does the . WHOIS registry. Portions of the Internet will still not be able to . see panix.com until their name servers expire the false data. More . info soon. . . panix.net status update (elr) Sun Jan 16 16:06:41 2005 . . As some of our customers have noticed, there have been a few problems . with using panix.net as a substitute for panix.com. We've fixed most . of them: . . * if you change your return address to username@panix.net, it now works. . Previously, it was getting re-written back to username@panix.com. Customers . may need to do this to send mail to domains that use "Sender Address . Verifcation" since the fake panix.com mail servers don't seem to be . accepting mail right now. . . * The URL "http://www.panix.net/~USERNAME" automatically redirects to . panix.com/~USERNAME. You can get around this by appending a / to the URL: . . http://www.panix.net/~USERNAME/ . . * Addresses of the form xxxx@USERNAME.users.panix.net are working now. . . Of course, we're still working around the clock to solve the underlying . problem with the hijacked domain.
