(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.

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. 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 ..

Subject: [Bikeboard] What the heck?

Looks like I got 61 individual emails pertaining to 22 different

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)
