Hi all,
I wanted to pop in for a moment to say that you may have noticed a
recent slowdown in list traffic. You're not mistaken-- things are,
indeed, slower 'round these parts. This appears to be in part due to
everyone's favorite parasites: spammers. To quote the Evolt server
sysadmin:
"In the past couple of weeks, we've been hit by a large number of
spammers which is causing the SMTP server to get overloaded. This
will cause some MTAs on the sender side to decide that lists.evolt.org
is down and, in some cases, does not retry."
So if you sent mail to the list and it just never showed up,
that's most likely why. The flood of spam is choking off legitimate
traffic. If you sent a message to the list more than a day ago and
didn't get a "message delayed, will try again later" notice, try
sending it again.
Unfortunately, the only things I can suggest are that you keep
copies of all your outgoing messages just in case you need to resend
them, and to be patient. (Both of which I'll be doing with this
message, as it happens!)
