(Technical explanation) Since early morning November 24, the mailing list has been down. This was due to a global time issue that had killed the email server, when I corrected the time issue several services went down. One of those services was the mailing list. Because it was never was restarted, messages have not been going out since then, instead all new messages have been stored in a spool. This evening, someone from a different mailing list I administer observed that his emails were not being received by the mailing list. Problem is now fixed, and all messages since the 24th have been sent out.
Ah, that doesn't sound very "technical". Do I need to use The Google to see what the real "issue" was? What keywords should I use?
I manage several important mailing lists, so I am beyond amazed and mystified why nobody else observed that their emails were not being posted to their respective mailing lists.
So does this mean that the BB list isn't one of the "important" ones, or that all the lists, important or otherwise didn't get restarted?
And you also didn't realize it either, whether or not you sent something, correct?
Frank often emails the BB along w/ others. When he gets emails from the "others" but not the BB he probably just figures that "yet-again" the BB isn't responding to his emails and such. So he continues doing his job. Chug, chug, chug...
RIGHT. Merry Christmas!
As a member of a mailing list, when you send an original message to your list you should always get back your message, with a modification to the subject line. So if your subject is "What the heck?", you would get in your Inbox or folder ..
Not a true blanket-statement. Using g(unnar)mail, if I sent out an email to the list-
- I don't get another copy of it.
- If someone responds (as you just did), the subject does NOT get
modified. My thread/conversation stays the same. No biggie, since I don't use the [Bikeboard] as the filter, rather I use the email addy, so my filter still labels it as such.
Subject: [Bikeboard] What the heck?
Nope.

Looks like I got 61 individual emails pertaining to 22 different threads/conversations. The first one from November 28. I started receiving them around 11:06 pm until 12:06 am. Weird, n'est–ce pas?

Is it just me or did most of you just receive a complete wrath of BB messages? Some about a month old. Were the emails sent *just* to the BB sitting in some obtuse queue or where they circling the globe waiting for a port to be opened?
Whatever it is, I would have to say it's not good, specially considering what most of the discussion was about. Harrumph.
Oh yeah, and Happy Holidays! (Hope you get this before the start of the New Year)
