So it's been an exciting week for mail-archive.com. What happened?
1) Wednesday, the network access to the main site went down for several hours. 2) This triggered a mail loop which, on revival meant messages were being shuttled back and forth between mail-archive.com backup computers. Nothing was lost (I think) but disks filled up with mail logs and several warning messages were sent out. 3) We started receiving email from hundreds on onelist lists. No idea why. The lists seemed to be about every topic under the sun. The system wasn't programmed to acccept lists starting with a number (i.e. [EMAIL PROTECTED]), so we ended up with zillions of new lists, many completely bogus. So, at this point the system is in stable shape. The configuration error that caused the mail loop has been rectified. The bogus lists got pruned out, and we now handle all onelist lists correctly. We seem to be fine under the increased load, so far. Exciting times. Jeff
