- There were some network problems here at Emory over the past weekend that
- caused the system running the gateway between the Informix mailing list and
- comp.databases.informix to be off the air for a while.
-
- Unfortunately that "while" was long enough to cause sendmail to kick back
- several outgoing messages. Judging from the bounces, messages with List-ID's
- <list.1576> and <news.2067> through <news.2072> failed to get out. I am
- re-mailing these to the list.
-
- On the Usenet side of the fence, things were less affected, except that a few
- messages posted to the list experienced a 3-4 day delay going through the
- gateway instead of being sent through immediately. And, of course, articles
- posted to c.d.i have also been delayed going out to the list.
-
- To my knowledge, the problems were all internal. The news host continued to
- receive and spool all c.d.i articles. If you posted something to the mailing
- list early in the problem period, your message may have bounced back to you.
- You should get an obvious bounce message if that occurred.
-
- It may take another day or so for things to smooth out. If you've posted
- something recently and haven't seen it yet, wait a little longer than usual
- before you assume that it didn't make it, or that no one has replied to it.
-
- Let me know if you have any questions, or if you need to check on a list
- message or news article.
-
- Thanks,
-
- Walt.
