Interestingly, I used to have problems once. My provider had a
problem in which it's users would stop being recognized at times,
resulting in 5xx messages. It would last only a few minutes (well,
it could last longer at night), but it would happen again and again
throughout the day, which, I guess, generates the pattern that leads
jmb to unsubscribe people.
The funny thing is... the problem happened because of a bug on
FreeBSD's nis. :-)
