The quick summary is that Verisign introduced wildcard records into the 
top-level .com and .net zones that point all non-existent domains to 
64.94.110.11. With one stroke there are no longer any non-existent .com 
or .net domains, which has fascinating potential for breaking all kinds 
of things.

The issue with returned mail from pjmatthews has nothing to do with 
this-- it is the result of a rude mailer-daemon at dynamic DNS service 
tzo.com that doesn't understand how to handle undeliverable messages 
from mailing lists. (What do I mean by rude? If an email message has an 
Errors-to: header, like this one does, a nice mailer will send error 
messages to that address instead of sending them to the original sender.)
