I'm not sure if Nortel Canada runs their mail servers the same way
Nortel Raleigh does, but every couple of months or so, I see errors
occuring from all the Nortel subscribers to a listserve I run. After a
day or two, the errors go away, though a couple times, they had
completely changed the e-mail addresses and I had to re-subscribe all
the Nortel folks.
