mcgp1 seems to be down. We have about 180 messages queued for them.
But that is for only three days. Normally we see a message or three a
day.
So, I looked to see where they were all going. 145 of them are to or
through polari. Most of these messages came through uunet (and then
nwnexus) to get here. In other words, we pay to forward this stuff.
Now, as we all know that polari talks to uunet directly I just didn't
understand what was happening -- why stuff was going through nwnexus, then
ssc, then cell-one, then mcgp1 to get to polari. So, I looked in the
uunet map. No polari.
So, first, why isn't polari in the uunet map? Second, is this happening
to others (that is, forwarding zillions of messages for polari) locally?
Finally, can this be fixed?
This is not to say that ssc isn't willing to forward mail. We have been
on the net for close to 10 years, have fed lots of stuff to lots of people
and generally spent a lot of money to take part in the cooperative effort.
But something is wrong here.
