Actually, he sent plain text.  What he sent was a linux command and
it's output (which happened to be html and was poorly wrapped by his
mailer).

The question/problem might also have been more clearly stated.  The
reverse ip address lookup isn't very useful so it isn't clear what
mirror he is attempting to use (although it might be part of
msync.CentOS.org).  Doing a quick browsing of the url posted shows
what looks like a correct and up to date mirror.

As to the cause of the actual problem, I have no idea as I use an
internal mirror and don't see any issue.
