Our servers were mostly reachable, but had problems reaching external systems, including DNS servers that are required for the rest of our system to work. This caused confusing error messages about database failures. Our data center has informed us that the connectivity issue was fixed around 7:15 p.m. EST and we have confirmed that the system is running correctly as of that time. We apologize about the difficulties this afternoon. -- Best Regards, Jeff G. http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?act=findpost&pid=37585 Wazoo and dbiel, as always, have my permission to post my SpamCop Newsgroup posts in the SpamCop Forum and Wiki without this paragraph.
