I don't have specifics on the problem at AppRiver yet - they are still picking up the pieces, though operations are back to normal afaik. I do know (preliminarily) that the problem occurred when a new piece of software caused some messages with multiple recipients to loop and as a result to be replicated and resent repeatedly. If you are not a user of AppRiver then you shouldn't have been effected. Perhaps if you sent a message to someone who is a user of AppRiver then that might have gotten your messages involved. The only direct effect I'm aware of for SNF users was that for a time rulebase downloads were slowed due to packet loss. Since we use AppRiver for filtering (they, after all are using SNF) some messages that get sent to us apparently did loop to some lists. Also, some email to our accounts was delayed. I would need to know a lot more about your system and the email you lost before I could make any guesses as to what happened there -- but if you're not using AppRiver then you shouldn't have been effected.
