ADMIN: MajorDomo Meltdown
Humm, seems as I have my work cut out for me tonight, as majordomo zeroed out the list again and is having problems with it's temp files (filling up a second disk here at toad.com). Eric Hughes and I freed up 15 megs on the disk where majordomo keeps the cypherpunks list, and I tought that would give me the time to do the fix right (and speend the weekend not hacking...). Turns out that the disk filled up again tonight, this time with 12+ megs of bounce messages from Cypherpunks subscribers durring the last 9 days. Seems we have some major problems to solve still with the basic mail list technology. I have 11 hours to make a major meeting, so I am going to go back to hacking the software and see how much I can get running tonight. I will install a backup from a few days ago, some of you will have duplacates that we will have to remove yet again, sigh, thats the way it goes. If you have futher questions or problems, please contact me. ||ugh Daniel Muchtimes Postmaster hugh@toad.com

Reminds me of the old saying, "if builders built buildings the way programmers wrote programs, the first woodpecker that came along would destroy civilization." I won't start on my rant as to this is one major reason I hate shell scripts... no, I'll keep my big fly-trap shut (for once)... - -- Ed Carp, N7EKG/VE3 ecarp@netcom.com, Ed.Carp@linux.org "What's the sense of trying hard to find your dreams without someone to share it with, tell me, what does it mean?" -- Whitney Houston, "Run To You" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6 iQCVAgUBLgbhkiS9AwzY9LDxAQHwNgP9H5b7D1+AhJw6v2gFPzf4pA8DYWMx7Mxe HBIMi5dE8EDmZjq5Li8eRYx7AtXgPNjN87glPe0UgK7PXSJr4VkeGyXCcbvsdiKe 3gS6Wjuig21Z4NKpunCzo1FvwzibWIRta/bQHO6etKlLFEao9ogIgtNq28xlXX3O +gqlV30QgRI= =l5QM -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
