Some issues I've noticed with email:

1.  president@lojban.org, vp@lojban.org, secretary@lojban.org,
    treasurer@lojban.org are all aliases I maintain for y'all.  They
    have not been updated, AFAICT, since 2017; they currently look
    like this:

      president: comcaresvcs@gmail.com
      vice-president: vp@lojban.org
      vp: lojbab@lojban.org
      secretary: shunpiker@gmail.com, robinleepowell@gmail.com
      treasurer: shunpiker@gmail.com, robinleepowell@gmail.com

    Looking at https://mw.lojban.org/papri/LLG_Board_of_Directors it
    looks like that's mostly correct?, although I don't think
    Arkadii is on that list anywhere?  Yeah, I just found his
    address and it's definitely not on that list.

    It would be nice if people contacted me to get these updated
    when an election occurs; that doesn't seem to be happening.

2.  I started another thread on all the mailing lists about this,
    but unless someone knows something I don't I think it's time to
    kill llg-board@lojban.org and the other locally-hosted email
    lists, since they're not in use.  In which case I would make
    llg-board@lojban.org a simple alias (i.e. mail there gets sent
    to all the current board members).  This would also require
    people to contact me to get it updated.

3.  Side comment: I can make aliases for [anything]@lojban.org;
    there is a gleki@lojban.org going to the obvious person, for
    example.

4.  I currently can't send mail to Bob and Nora *again*, their ISP
    keeps cutting me off.  This means lojbab@lojban.org is a black
    hole currenly, in particular (as is noras@lojban.org).  I'm
    working on it.
