The FTP server has always been fine. This was working great, and is  
still working great:

ftp://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/

However, the HTTP access to the FTP server is broken. This is not  
working (it is showing an empty directory listing):

http://ftp.andrew.cmu.edu/

This was the only download address in the cyrus-imapd and mpack  
portfiles, hence they were not able to fetch the software. Adding the  
http URL as a backup download address worked around the problem. CMU  
should still be contacted regarding their non-functioning HTTP access  
to their FTP server.
