Email Woes

[james_davis_nicoll]

Panix's email appears to be pooched for the moment so I will not be replying to email until further notice.

[Until 6 pm, it looks like. Man, I wish I wasn't on the Bujold mailing list today]

It's available now:
The file server that handles mail is rebuilding disks, making POP and
IMAP very slow. We anticipate the rebuild to finish late this
afternoon, in the 6pm range.

We have disabled mailcheck to facilitate shell logins; you can
read your mail from the shell by, after logging in, setting the MAIL
variable to
/users//.maildir

(Users of desktop mail clients such as Outlook or Eudora need only
extend the timeout in their client's account settings.)

We apologize for the inconvenience.

That's supposed to have your user name between the two middle slashs.

What, are we being frightening? Or just excessive|?

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

Excessive. I expect to find hundreds of email messages when I get home.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Only about a dozen when I got home. Not so bad at all.

[james-nicoll.livejournal.com]

I had 218.

You must have turned your back for a bit.

I just send the bujold list to my gmail account, and give it its own label. I can't keep up with it pretty much ever.
