 Did the DNS change for osgeo.org recently?

 Mail to osgeo.org suddenly broke because osgeo.org is a CNAME to
 www.osgeo.org — mail systems are supposed cannily records when they have a
 CNAME, so user at osgeo.org is getting re-written to user at www.osgeo.org —
 which has not MX record, and the server is not running a mail server.

 Suggest either switching osgeo.org to an A record (because CNAME are
 awful) or adding a MX record to www.osgeo.org. The former is better.
