Possible list outage...

Hi all,
They're knocking out the servers here for a few hours on Sunday night
(local time). This will probably take out the machine the listproc
account actually lives on (but only for a period of hours, not days).
This may have the effect of either:

1. all mail sent to the list will be bounced back to the originator
during this period (most likely)
2. all mail sent to the list will go in the bit bucket (least likely)

The solutions are:

1. don't send any mail to the list on sunday :-)
2. if you get mail bounced, wait a few hours and try again

If you send mail to the list on Sunday, and you're not sure if it
turned up, drop me some email and I'll let you know.

Just so you know, the period in question will be between 7pm or so, and
probably 11pm local time (which is roughly UTC+10).

cheers
