	Yeah, that's down for the moment.  The owner of that domain is 
working on trying to bring it back up, but I don't recall if there 
has been any estimates as to when that will happen.

	You can use the "Mass Subscribe" function under the "Membership 
Management" page on the web admin interface for your list. 
Alternatively, you can use the command-line tools (see 
<http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq04.009.htp>).

	The format should be:

		"Real Name" <real.name at example.com>

	I'm not sure about this one.  I'll have to let someone else 
answer this question.
