Reminder of outage tonight starting in approximately two hours.

Backup MX has been setup on MX for linuxfromscratch.org. Once server is 
down I will force the destination to an invalid IP address so it will 
not try to immediately deliver email upon Quantum coming back online so 
as to give us a chance to verify that email services are properly 
started on it. Quantum has not been rebooted in a long time so we're not 
entirely sure how it'll behave on the first attempt. Best not to have 
email fail due to a configuration issue that may or may not have cropped 
up over time.

Regards,
Gerard
