When I send mail boston-pm@pm.org I get:
Hi. This is the qmail-send program at la.mx.develooper.com. I'm afraid I wasn't able to deliver your message to the following addresses. This is a permanent error; I've given up. Sorry it didn't work out. <boston-pm@pm.org>: Sorry, no mailbox here by that name. (#5.1.1)Which sucks since I'm in the Boston area, travelling with my wife and son and intermittent internet access, and final arrangements for a meeting on Jan 19 have yet to be made. :-(
UPDATE: That's just a bounce from a list member, but the list is working fine. /me feels like an idiot...

Below is an email from Dave Cross about changes to the pm.org server, which
hosts our mailing lists and web site. I believe these changes have been
made or are now in the process of being made.
Here is what you need to know right now:
The boston-pm at pm.org address is currently invalid. I do not know whether
this is a permanent change or just a temporary side effect of the move.
LIST POSTS MUST BE SENT TO boston-pm at mail.pm.org instead.
Our lovely new Kwiki is now inaccessible. In order to restore it, we will
most likely need to find a new host for our website. Suggestions welcome.

Subject: [pm_groups] pm.org hosting changes
For several years, the pm.org server has been hosted for free by
Rackspace and we're very grateful to them for the help they've given us.
Unfortunately, that free service will be ending very early next year and
the pm.org server will be moving elsewhere.
As part of the move we are going to have to scale down the level of
service that we provide for Perl Monger local groups. Once the new
server is established we will provide the following for free:
* Web sites with static content only.
* FTP and/or WebDAV access to maintain web sites.
* Mailing lists.
* DNS
The major changes will be that no dynamic content will be allowed and no
group leaders will have shell access to the server. We're sorry that we
have to put this restrictions in place, but the internet is a very
different place to what is was when we set the service up many years
ago. If you want to host your site on a less restrictive server that you
have more control over then we are, as always, happy to point the DNS
records at another server.

Apologies for any inconvenience caused.
Dave...
