I had a ~/.foward in [EMAIL PROTECTED] as simple as "[EMAIL PROTECTED]". Everything was fine until DNS guy at THEN_WORK_ADDRESS quit, and time went buy w/ unpaid Internic bills. Suddenly that address was ripped from the Internet, no longer valid [within DNS cache]. When a message was sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] (from me, a CGI script), it was returned (to me) along with a bounce notification. Two problems from one. Things degraded exponentially! It brought down the ISP (SendMail in a hard in spin), and I was accused of intentional mail bombing. Not so, but tonight sure felt the same. :( </P> <P> Today, I disconnected early (lightening putting my sad modem at risk) and I just re-joined. Uh oh ... way to much Gump mail! </P> <P>I'd attempted this:<BR/> <A HREF="http://issues.apache.org/eyebrowse/[EMAIL PROTECTED]&msgNo=6870">Notification Mail Rework</A><BR/> Which was intended simply to ensure that Gump was a little more communicative, a little more timely. I way over compensated... </P> <P> Unfortunately, the Ant bootstrap (old faithful, ultra reliable, solid base) failed sending 456 projects into a state that incorrectly generated an e-mail. Another bad coincidence, another storm. History repeating itself. </P> <P> <B>Sorry folks...</B> </P>
