Sircam is indeed the culprit. minder.net usually delivers from 10^5 to 10^6 messages a day. Since this latest worm the average has risen by an order of magnitude, though things have slowed down quite a bit in the last 24 hours. We're working though the backlog. As some of the mail I deliver is for paying, privacy oriented customers I'm obliged not to peek or filter to mitigate the situation as Eric has done.

When cyberpass started messing up a few weeks ago, I unsubbed there and resubbed at minder.net
Several times, I've noticed that messages I sent were replied to long before I ever saw the original message come back.
Yesterday I sent a message around 11AM, and just got the original back, over 24 hours later.
I'm used to a delay of an hour or so, but this is ridiculous....
The CDRs are busy passing LOTS of copies of Sircam between themselves. It got so bad that I had to limit the size of incoming mail to lne.
I'm also having problems getting CDR mail into minder.net. I expect that they're swamped.
