Although I'm not familiar with the protocol details, it looks to me as 
though talk.google.com is having problems with its DNS servers.  Is the 
Wikileaks related DDoS attack still in progress on Google?  Does that

Emails are not formal business letters, whatever businesses may want.
RFC1855 says there should be an address here, but, in a world of spam,
that is no longer good advice, as archive address hiding may not work.
