The mail server application normally does a reboot at about 3am. This morning, it decided not to come back up. This caused the mail that should have been sent out to just pile up in the mail que. The mail did get logged to the site for those who were reading and posting using the archive interface. When I found out about the mail being down at about 1pm or so I put the server back up. Problem is, by then we had somewhere over half a million mail messages waiting to go out. It took time to get everything out and moving. Fun, fun, fun.
on an aside, today was a major fast day and no work should be done and if it has to be done, it shouldn't be done till midday. Otherwise I would have been up at 3am and saw the problem then. :) > Looks like the web inteface is up, just the email sending part seems to be down > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?forumid=5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/index.cfm?method=subscribe&forumid=5 This list and all House of Fusion resources hosted by CFHosting.com.
