com-priv-request isn't a person, and it's probably read by a few...

Anyway, in response to my note to support@psi.com (not in response to
those notes sent yesterday to postman@lists.psi.com, the canonical
nanme for com-priv-request), Lisa Greenstein, <lisag@support.psi.com>,
said they were having some temporary troubles yesterday (well,
tuesday), and she corrected the problems.
Everything seems to be operational again now.
