The listserv at NKS is *supposed* to be dead. I had a conversation them
them not too long ago, and asked them to take it all down. Apparently
that hasn't happened, so I'll have to manually kill all the members on
those lists.

In answer to your question, yes, the new servers are up and running. You
may post at slug@suncoastlug.org

In the mean time, I'd suggest you institute a block (procmail or
whatever) on mail from the NKS list servers.
