Hello All, If you are like me having very little mail, the answer is that maintenance is being carried out for a few days. I hope this explanation will help you to know what is going on, if this message gets through to you. ARCHIVER is having a few operating system problems that are going to require a rebuild of some of the hard disks. To facilitate this process we have turned off the inbound mail to the threaded archives and we are currently getting a fresh backup of the server. After the server is rebuilt we will feed the mail to the archives which may take a day or two to repopulate. That time will depend on the amount of incoming mail now and when we repopulate. I am not sure of the time that this will all take so I have made a wild guess at three days. More information as it comes to hand.
