Mail Outage

[lwood]

From 0230 to 0745 PST this morning, 9 January 2006, lorien was unable to receive mail. This involves all domains that I host. Depending on the configurations of servers trying to send us e-mail, the failed messages may or may not be resent. It's unlikely that much, if any, e-mail was actually lost, as this happened in the wee hours of the morning, but in case you find any sudden gaps in your conversations, this is why.

Damn, this messed with my head. As you know, my workstation's name is Lórien. Even though I knew I hadn't posted this, and nobody else (except conceivably feyandstrange) would be in a position to know if there was anything wrong with him, I still wigged out.

Indeed, since most of my head is currently occupied with PHP development rather than DNS, I temporarily forgot that L&oracute;rien is not Finrod (who actually receives mail for all of my domains).

I'm sorry to hear about your server problem. But I'm really glad to find that it's not a problem with my server. And I hope there was no mail lost.

I mistakenly read the subject line as "Mail Outrage" and I was wondering who sent you bad mail. :) Good luck with the servers!

So I telnetted in. That worked but mutt doesn't seem to be available.

Just what I was looking for...

Here I was, on my way to your LJ to let you know that I had just received bounces from lwood-at-snugharbor, and diana-at-westria, thinking there may be a problem you didn't know about.

Just for general information's sake- the PantheaCon Program Schdeule is now locked and loaded. Same link as we sent you for the preliminary schedule- only now, it's OK to share it. The e-mail I was trying to send was sent out to all presenters letting them know.

Now you know!
