Some of you may have experienced temporary problems sending mail to the python.org domain. As of about noon EST, Monday 21-Feb-2000, these problems should have been resolved, and your queued up messages should be getting delivered to email addresses @python.org. In brief, we are in the process of moving most python.org services to a faster machine. Friday afternoon (in direct and willful violation of Warsaw's Second Law[1]), we changed the MX record for python.org to point to dinsdale.python.org. Most email was already being handled by this machine, but via a clunky forwarding scheme through the old machine. Unfortunately, due to a misconfiguration of CNRI's gateway, traffic to the smtp port of dinsdale was being blocked. This should now be fixed, and queued mail should be flowing again; no mail should have actually been lost. If you experience any residual problems please let us know (you can email me directly at my CNRI address, which was unaffected). -Barry [1] http://www.python.org/~bwarsaw/software/laws.html -- ----------- comp.lang.python.announce (moderated) ---------- Article Submission Address: python-announce@python.org Python Language Home Page: http://www.python.org/ Python Quick Help Index: http://www.python.org/Help.html ------------------------------------------------------------
