  Re: This is it: We're moving!
 
Just a quick update: It appears that posting via email does not currently work. We are trying to get that sorted ASAP, but for the time being please use NNTP or the web at news.lugnet.com. Thanks, Jerry (18 years ago, 17-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

(...) Ummm like the spam coming in??? And the double posts for the top ten??? I know, I'm sure it will take a bit of time, but the spam seems pretty fast and furious. Good luck with getting that sorted. Janey "Red Brick" (18 years ago, 17-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: This is it: We're moving!
 
I need to apologize, we just realized that some of the spammers _do_ use the mail gateway and flooded us. I've locked up the mail2news gateway again and will look for the cause of this. Stay tuned for updates. Thanks, Jerry (18 years ago, 17-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: This is it: We're moving!
 
Janey, you are right, we do have a small issue here and I am working on resolving this. Apparently it also relates to the spam surge we observed a couple of minutes ago. I am confident that everything will work out soon, and member names should (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: This is it: We're moving!
 
(...) Cool Jerry, just pointing it out, since you asked if we noticed anything. Thanks for the all the tech work you are doing. Seemed to go fast from this end, but I imagine tons of work on your end. Cheers, Janey "Red Brick" (18 years ago, 18-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: This is it: We're moving!
 
Thanks for your appreciation, Janey, I am pretty close to sorting this out but will need to check a couple of things first. So sorry folks, this issue may last for the rest of Sunday. I'll post an update once it is fixed. Thanks for all your (...) (18 years ago, 18-Jun-06, to lugnet.admin.general)
