The "http://news.cis.dfn.de/"; address has worked for 1 year after they announced this change. DFN stands for the "German Science and Research Network" and is a government funded organisation, and they wanted/needed separate servers for public and member usage, so they had to find a new name for their public service: "individual.net". -- JanC "Be strict when sending and tolerant when receiving."
