When you "CWD" into  ftp://ftp.funet.fi/pub/unix/mail/zmailer/,
you get following note (at the end of a bit longer msg):

      A copy of this material is also on:
            ftp://ftp.cse.psu.edu/pub/src/zmailer/current/

It is copied there manually, so I don't know when it is in sync..

The original problem mr. Ballantyne is referring here at is
a problem in his (or ours) DNS server regarding his IP-address
to name mapping.  It is possible to side-step the original
complaint by entering a PROPER "password" which if of format:

	userid@host.with.ip.number

and that "host.with.ip.number" must be some host in the same NETWORK
as is the host where from the connection is coming.  Then your
classification changes from  "IP-address failure" to "Outside NORDUnet",
which means 80 users instead of 2...
(And a lot easier to get in..)
