Attention all members: message regarding late mail delivery

[Guest guest]

Wish they would get rid of the porn promotion stuff in the bulk folder, maybe

that would help the problem.....Geez! Donna

Hi Folks,

 

Should have posted this earlier, but I wanted to let everyone know

that we are aware of the delays in email delivery that are affecting

many groups right now. The problem is not related to any of the

database and hardware work we were doing earlier in the year.

Rather, the primary cause is the " My Wife virus

(http://vil.nai.com/vil/content/v_138027.htm), which has caused a

huge spike in the number of emails sent to . This spike

has gone beyond the capacity of our current systems to handle, which

is causing the delays in email delivery.

 

We have already taken two steps to address the issue, which has

begun to reduce the number of delays:

- We are dropping (i.e. not delivering) all outgoing email that

includes the virus (in other words, we are not sending infected

messages to groups).

- We have added additional server capacity

 

And we are planning to increase that capacity even more. However,

until the virus has fully played itself out or more ISPs have taken

steps to reduce the amount of email they are sending to us (by

dropping messages that contain the virus rather than forcing us to

do it), there may continue to be some delays.

 

Our apologies for any inconvenience.

 

- Gordon
