News: Mail down :(
Mail down :(
Item posted by Mathieu Roy <yeupou> on Fri Oct 18 10:30:52 2002.
For the first time in the past 3 years, mail is 100% down at gnu.org
during 48 hours.
The cause of the trouble is independant of the gnu.org setup.
We hope to have everything back on line on the next 24 hours.
Please accept our apologizes for the inconvenience.
In emergency case, only about Savannah (this mail server trouble is not) you can contact Loic Dachary loic@senga.org (only major issues) or me at yeupou@coleumes.org

| New projects? (posted by Haakon Nilsen, Sat Oct 19 12:21:13 2002) |
Just before or during the time this happened, I submitted a request for a new project at Savannah. I haven't heard anything yet, so I'm wondering if the mail downtime has anything to do with it, and is there anything I should do? If the mail my request generated has been lost, should I re-apply for the project? |

Normally, it's only a matter of delay. At this moment, normally you should have already received an answer about it.
If not, please send a mail to savannah-hackers@gnu.org with your login and your project name.

Hi,
Has the mail sent to lists during these two unfortunate days got lost, or should we expect a mail queue flush at some point?
I'm missing some posts to nano-devel, at least.
Thanks to the GNU admins for their work. |

Normally many mails was queued (I personally just received a big bunch of them). But there's no way for me to be sure that no mail was lost.
People at system-hackers@gnu.org can be helpfull.

I was logged in on fencepost.gnu.org at 4 am EDT on October 16 when the connection was shut down. It has been two days since then and no mail. I guess some mailing lists have put me into the nomail mode already.
It would be nice to have system status somewhere, maybe on http://www.gnu.org, which is up. My guess is that the whole GNU network in Boston is disconnected.

Your guess is right.
The connection seems to be back now.
There was no mail, sure, no @gnu.org mail address was available. |
