Greetings Folks:

As some have noticed, we recently had an outage of the list server handling the 
Rivendell-dev and Rivendell-prog mailing list. The outage began around 0100 EDT 
this past Sunday (6 June 2021) and was due to a hardware failure in the server 
system. Full service was restored today around 1400 EDT. No loss of data in the 
mails archives took place, although there might have been some dropped messages 
during the outage period.

Ironically enough, the outage took place while we were in the midst of 
preparations to migrate the lists to a virtual instance at AWS. In fact, our 
original recovery plan was simply to complete the cloud migration. However, 
that project is going much more slowly than anticipated (AWS is *very* 
reluctant to hand out unlimited connection rights to SMTP port 25), so we ended 
up repairing the original hardware and putting it back online today. Our 
apologies for the prolonged outage!

Cheers!
