Date: Thu, 17 Apr 2008 15:45:49 -0400 (EDT) From: BCPL.NET SysAdmin To: BCPL.NET News Subject: [BCPL.NET NEWS] Unexpected Down Time -------------------- UNEXPECTED DOWN TIME -------------------- A problem on our main UNIX server (mail.bcpl.net) at about 11:15 PM last night (Wednesday April 16th) made it impossible to connect to BCPL.NET via modem, or via Telnet, SSH or FTP to mail.bcpl.net. It also halted e-mail delivery, and brought down the www.bcpl.net web site and all other web sites hosted on the server. The problem was fixed at about 2:35 PM today (Thursday April 17th) by a combination BCPL Network Operations staff with an assist from Sun Microsystems. As of the time of this e-mail everything seems to be running smoothly. We are receiving huge amounts of e-mail that was queued up on remote mail servers while our mail system was down, so it may take a while for e-mail sent from outside BCPL to reach your mailbox. Please be patient. If you are still experiencing problems, please call the BCPL.NET Help Desk at 410-887-3297. -- BCPL.NET INTERNET SERVICES 320 York Road Towson, MD 21204-5179 U.S.A.
