List Problems

Is the whole Phoenyx down at the moment or is it just my list?

I can't access the Phoenyx website either at the moment.

Bye for now,


Nick

Er, none of the above, as far as I know.  There's a metric buttload 
of Bohavia messages in the status report, and aside from a bunch 
of Fudge messages queued up for delivery to [the misnamed] 
rocketmail.com, there's not much waiting to go out.

I'm not seeing any gaps in our Apache log, at least on a quick cold-
medicine-hazed lookthrough... looks like some people were getting 
through at all times.

asking what was up took at least eight hours to show up.

Oh well, it's all back to normal now, so no worries.

Thanks for all your help.

Bye for now,

I'm noticing tonight that there were time periods today when 
virtually nothing in Europe, and a lot of NorAm stuff, was accepting 
mail.  I'm wondering if there have been some net brownouts, 
although I haven't seen anything about it from the usual news 
sources.  I wouldn't think it was our provider; they've got pipes to 
five different cities to prevent exactly that sort of thing.

In fact, as I think about it, it couldn't be just us, because people 
who have forwarding accounts were having the same problem... 
even if *we* couldn't reach Europe, that wouldn't cause a problem if 
we delivered to, say, Bigfoot first.  But the forwarders are reporting 
the same thing, looks like.

Right now, I'm having trouble reaching a lot of US websites.  Dunno 
what's going on.  If it keeps up, I'll call SouthWind (upstream) in the 
AM and see if they have a clue.

Hi Karen,

who have forwarding accounts were having the same problem...

we delivered to, say, Bigfoot first.  But the forwarders are reporting
the same thing, looks like.

>>>It certainly just wasn't me who was having problems.  Because I've been so
tied up recently, the first I knew of the problem was when I had tons of mail
coming in from players saying that they weren't getting anything.

Sorry that I can't help you find an easy explanation for this.

Bye for now,


Nick

No, we can tell *something* is (was?) happening out there 
somewhere.  I can see delays in hunting up a web address, 
sometimes even here in the States... it may take two or three tries 
to get through.  At least, that's what it was doing this morning.  
Hopefully it's stopped by now.  But it's not just the Phoenyx itself, 
at least.

Of course, sometimes it's *better* when it's us, since it means we 
actually have some control...
