[Mailman-Users] Everything stopped yesterday

[G. Armour Van Horn]

No, that didn't occur to me. I don't think it's a likely factor, as the
damaged message that actually caused the shutdown was several hours
earlier than the upgrade. The problem started filling up the error log at
08:52, and though the clock on the system was a few minutes off, I didn't
roll out of bed until nearly 11:00 am and probably didn't actually run the
upgrade until shortly after noon.

I am, at this point, absolutely certain that the upgrade was not a factor
in the shutdown of list messagse.
