The www.mail-archive.com was was down for about 40 hours this weekend. (So much for a goal of 99.5% uptime) I believe no data was lost, although some mail warnings may have been sent through the net. Sorry for the inconvenience; lessons have been learned.
What happened? On Thursday, June 3, while I was out of town, the primary system had a disk failure, so I switched everything over to the failsafe system. So far so good. On Friday, June 5, I rebooted the failsafe system (in hindsight: not very wise) since it had been up for a VERY long time. When it came back there was no network connectivity. It nearly two days to fix; sigh... What does this mean? Email generally times out over five days, so as the system is now back all that stored up mail (~2000 messages) will rush in and get archived. I hope the (delayed mail) warning messages didn't scare off any list owners! The web site was also off line for the weekend. Jeff Breidenbach
