>Last night, after a server reboot, the postconfirm spam checker that was
>recently put in front of IETF mailing lists failed to start.  Unfortunately,
>this resulted in a huge influx of spam to the IETF ticket system, and a
>simultaneous failure of IETF list email. Everything is back online now and
>functioning; however, email messages sent to IETF lists in the last 16 hours
>were lost, and will need to be resent.
>
>We have now installed a direct watcher on postconfirm, to force a restart of
>it when it fails. In addition, Henrik is working on the system now to find
>out why it failed to start in the first place, and why its failure caused
>mail loss rather than mail deferral.
>
>I apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused you. As always,
>please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
