Status report:

* The outage last week was due to a linux kernel crash in
  the virtual memory subsystem. I am now getting such
  a crash once every two months or so; and requires a reboot
  to recover. I didn't notice the crash right away, so
  it took time for mail-archive to come back on line. Mail 
  queued on secondary MX will be held until the new primary
  hardware comes online.

* New hardware has been ordered. The usual stuff, more diskspace,
  more memory, more CPU power. I'm also able rachet down a little
  bit on complexity (fewer CPUs, fewer disks, etc.) which
  may result in additional reliability. The new hardware will take
  a few weeks to bring up to speed. I will also likely switch
  hosting arrangements.

-Jeff
