-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 [ Apologies to those of you who receive this note in multiple forums. ] Hello all, I wanted to drop a quick note to everyone and explain how/why things took so long and I deeply apologize for the service interruption. Apparently the machine hosting outages mailing list went belly up during the package upgrade (postfix/mailman/apache) in order to bring the system up to date. This was suppose to be a planned upgrade which unfortunately turned out to be sysadmin's nightmare. During the headless chicken syndrome it led into further issues and from there on murphy took over that led to a prolonged outage. We are working towards a cluster setup (active-active cluster) where we will be able to pull the host out of operation without affecting the service in the future. Something we are also looking into is a separate instance in availability zones (multi-site) in order to protect applications/ host availability from failure of a single location. We deeply regret the delay this caused the mailing list to be off the air. Many thanks to Gadi Evron / Randy Vanghn / James Eastman / Larry Vaden / Joe St Sauver and other members of the team who work effortlessly to resurrect this list. Without there help and direction outages list wouldn't exist today. I'm indebted to them. Suggestions, comments are welcome. If interested, you can subscribe to the list at, http://isotf.org/mailman/listinfo/outages respectfully, /virendra -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFINzKXpbZvCIJx1bcRAv0lAJ46sBa9/uZ/lbl54ehE7tgNZiySZgCghKsq AjuiEP7kwKGXSsJqDBBe08w= =1OV7 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Not quite. Outages list traffic appears to be originating from 209.151.108.146, which has rDNS mx2.amigostecnicos.net, which has forward DNS 209.151.108.152, which does not match the originating IP. This inconsistency may cause deferral/rejection/quarantining depending on how recipients' MTAs are configured. For example, sendmail with require_rdns switched on responds with a 451 to this. I suggest fixing the DNS inconsistency. ---Rsk

I was clearly not paying enough attention to the message to which I replied... but why did 2 copies of it make it through the machinery? I would have assumed nanog@nanog and nanog@merit went to the same copy of Mailman, which should have noted the identical message-id's and bounced one; no? Cheers, -- jra -- Jay R.
