I'm not sure which e-mail adress we specified when we started being a mirror,
but it was probably (or at least it should have been) support(at)kangaroot(dot)net

Our dns is postgresql.mirror.kangaroot.net
and I just saw in our apacheconfig a serveralias ftp2.be.postgresql.org
(which doesn't resolve anymore, I guess we're taken out)
