An incredible traffic overload in recent days has taken its toll, and
the CompuServe mail gateway is approx 1000 messages behind. Some mail
may have been lost; I'm not yet sure and have to finish some audit
procedures first. The gateway host is suffering badly:
10:01pm up 4 days, 12:36, 6 users, load average: 63.71, 55.93, 48.70
^^^^^
I upgraded the transfer protocol driver today to a more recent
(purportedly faster) incantation in hopes of improving throughput, but
it'll be the weekend before we catch up.
Apologies. You can (probably) ignore "warnings from uucp" emanating
from cis.ohio-state.edu about an inability to reach CompuServe;
CompuServe and the gateway host are in constant contact, trying to
clear the queue. The nightly cleanup script is disabled until we get
past this to prevent inadvertent mail loss.
