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 > > > -- > Dr. Brian Leverich Co-moderator, soc.genealogy.methods/GENMTD-L > RootsWeb Genealogical Data Cooperative http://www.rootsweb.com/ > P.O.
