I received the above via my subscription route, which is cyberpass.net. Sub name is cypherpunks@Orwellian.Org. So, three emails were dropped, to me at least. That is, they didn't make it from lne thru cyberpass. The above one did make it.

We don't feed cyberpass directly. I don't remember if there was a problem feeding it or if I just didn't turn it on. I've turned it on now. One drawback of the decentralized kludged-up CDR system is that it's difficult to trace problems. All I can tell is that all the cpunks mail left here in the usual time. What happened on the other nodes I can't say. Maybe the operator of the cyberpass node can? Eric

????? I'll have to disagree - it's simple and reliable. What makes this incident stand out is how little mail gets lost. How few problems we realy do have over a given period with the network. Usually there is little if any question of which box has thrown a bit or gone deaf. Getting a hold of the operator can be a chore sometime. There's not a lot of discussion between the operators really. Now, as to dropped mail. It happens sometimes. 3 messages from one user getting dropped sounds more like a problem on the source end than in the CDR itself. Usually when a node starts throwing dup'es or dropping email wholesale (we've had this problem in the past) the hue and cry go up pretty quickly. Perhaps somebody rm'ed some buffer, sendmail went core, whatever. The question is does it happen again and if so what are it's characteristics compaired to this incident.
