The SL email system was also broken for a while. A message came through
about that within the last couple of days.

Last November I was "automatically removed from the
SCIENTIFIC-LINUX-USERS list (Mailing list for Scientific Linux users
worldwide) as a result of repeated delivery error reports from your
mail system." So one possibility is that your mail system is
occasionally failing to deliver mail to you from this list, but you
haven't yet been removed. In my case, the reason was that the
listserver sometimes sends email with a header longer than 32768
bytes, which the SLAC mail system couldn't handle. FermiLab said such
long headers are becoming necessary because "cloud systems that
everyone has and will be moving to, add additional diagnostic info in
the headers so if people report any errors, they can more easily be
diagnosed." The solution was to convince the managers of SLAC's mail
system to increase their incoming header size parameter.

response, but I never received the original message. This is not the

Kudos to the SL team at FNAL for once again getting the updates for
a really nasty issue out incredibly quickly. Impressive.
