Braindead site configuration...

[Matthew Seaman]

Can we drop at.cpan.org from the list of CPAN sites please?  It does
stupid things like this:

lucid-nonsense:~...ports/mail/p5-Email-Address-List:% fetch -v -v

ie. ask for a non-existent file and it will return a cutesie message
under the filename you asked for and a 200 OK code.  Site administrators
... grrrrrr .... flogging is too good for them.  Morons of the drooling
persuasion.  404 exists for a reason.
