> Since Tuesday when we resumed normal operations after recovering
> from the cracker attack, we have received numerous reports of
> anomalous list server operation. The symptoms included:
>
> o Posts and digests disappearing.
>
> o Posts appearing in the archives and in the digests, but
> not being sent to mail mode subscribers.
>
> o Several other, more involved, abnormalities.
>
> There was indeed a problem that was causing anomalous operation of
> the main "lists.rootsweb.com" server for one or two 2-hour windows
> each day and a similar problem that was affecting the "lists2"
> server zero or one 2-hour window each day. (We accidentally broke
> "lists2" as we were making repairs to the "lists" server.)
>
> Anyway, the problem is now identified and fixed. To the best of our
> knowledge, there are no remaining problems. These two listservers
> had operated without problems for more than 200 days each before the
> cracker attack, and we'll try to provide even better reliability
> than that out into the future. -B
