The server was down for a while and any posts sent during this time
were probably lost. If you haven't seen them come through, probably
should resend. Thanks.

We had a power outage last night about 12:30 AM. It must have lasted
longer than our UPS could hold the server. or else it spiked through
the protection.

When people came in this morning they had to reload the server then
run utilities to make sure nothing was damaged. That takes an
especially long time on the mail server because of all the archived
files.

It came back on line about 11:00.

That means mail while it was down is probably lost.

It's processing mail okay now without much of a backup except for
outgoing; it's backed up and was horrible backed up last night. I'm at
a complete loss about this because this has never been a problem. 100
files would go out in just seconds. I don't know if this is the result
of all the spammed mail that was run through here or not (and that was
an unbelievable amount of traffic) or a problem with the IU computers
making Internet connections, but I'm keeping an eye on it.
