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.
