Last night, when I changed the DNS for agoranomic.org to point to
GitHub Pages, I forgot to change the MX record so that my server would
continue to receive mail.  I knew I had to do that, but it slipped my
mind... Thus the lists were down for several hours, until this morning
when I saw an email from o and fixed it.  Sorry.

In other news, the DNS change didn't actually work, because I had
HTTPS Strict-Transport-Security enabled on the old site and it turns
out GitHub Pages doesn't support SSL for custom domains, at all.  I
kind of assumed that in mid-2017, a year and a half into Let's
Encrypt's lifetime, GitHub would have their act together w.r.t. SSL,
but I guess not.

In lieu of that, I just signed up for CloudFlare's free service, which
can wrap insecure sites in SSL - good enough for now.  It may take up
to 24 hours for the nameservers to propagate; P. Scholasticus, if you
want you can revert the custom domain setting on GitHub for that long,
to ensure people don't get redirected to a broken URL (although it
works for me already).  The lists (and list web interface) shouldn't
experience problems.

Don't worry, I set the firewall level to minimum and whitelisted Tor,
so there shouldn't be any CAPTCHA prompts.
