Hello Columbia Mirror Administrator,

We received a strange mail from someone who claims to be the webmaster
of columbia.edu.

The right contact is mirrors@debian.org or using
http://debian.org/mirror/submit

I may be paranoiac, but :
- web6p8@clusterserver168.mediaon.in is a strange from address for a
  columbia.edu US webmaster
- a whois against the edu-columbia.com domain says it is registered in
  Hong Kong, what is very strange for a US University.

For these reasons, I will not update this link and ask confirmation for
that to the contact we have with columbia.edu mirror's admins (and
removed the initial sender from the recipient of this mail)
