As Kathryn has discovered, there have been some interruptions to service over the last day or so.
I haven't tracked them in detail, but Robert, the owner of Eskimo, has sent out notices of denial of service attacks, some of which have succeeded in slowing throughput and in at least one case crashing a server. If you send a message and it doesn't show up from the list within a few minutes, wait a half hour or more before you re-send. Often delays like that will clear themselves. If you get a bounce message back from eskimo and/or your own service provider, read what it says. Somewhere in all the incomprehensible gibberish will be a few phrases that are dicipherable and usally help explain what's going on. Yes, even you will be able to get some information out of it if you try! <grin> Most problems serious enough to take Eskimo off the 'net don't last more than an hour or two. It's amazing the amount of effort that has gone into UNIX/Linux server development to provide for robustness and recovery from failures. As long as anything is getting through, feel free to e-mail me, as well. I can help troubleshoot. As far as I have heard, right now things are working but there may still be some vulnerabilities that are not yet patched. So, things might go down again from time to time.
