[ROVERNET - UK] Rovernet moving

Tue May 20 01:59:37 BST 2008

Many thanks, Ken.
Let me know if you feel is if you are subscribed.
I have had an off-list support so the little list is
expanding already :-)

This main list suffered from, "Yes - server problems"
"It should be rectified now. I restarted the server
hosting the list software the other day to apply an
emergency security update and checked all services
were back up except one component involved in the
mailing list hosting (as I only recently migrated it
there). This downtime caused a backlog on the mail
server that feeds it, and the mail server that feeds
it has been having problems under heavy load - still
don't know the cause of that, I think it's a disk
problem but the OS isn't reporting one. Sorry for my
terse and late reply but my focus was on getting the
infrastructure running again."

Noted Matt, one of our admin chaps in the UK.
