Emails that are being sent to you are being queued at the source (sender). They will sit there for up to 4 days so they aren't going to bounce.

The mail server has been running for 5 years or so with little change. Obviously I've forgotten how it's put together but it's fairly complicated with lots of different software components. Putting the pieces back together is a bitch but I'm making progress. Your email that is saved on the server (webmail, IMAP) is being copied now from the old disk image to the new machine but there are a bazillion little files and they take a long time to copy. They should be copied in another hour (I think/hope) and by then I also hope to have the software installed and configured so I can test it to make sure it's set up correctly.

Again, I apologize for the disruption. It was dropped on me out of the blue and I'm working as quickly as I can to put it back together.

I now get the login page but doesn't recognize my email/password combo. You're still probably working on it, but just in case you aren't aware of this issue.

Woohoo! Looks like we're back in business!

I only have 5 new emails. But I guess it may take time to process the queueing that you spoke of, and then it would come in a huge wave?

Thanks for your efforts.

Things should be back online again now. I think there is still an issue with notification messages being sent out but member mail *should* work. Tell me if I'm wrong. It may take 24 hours to catch up so if you haven't received something you were expecting please allow more time to clear the backlog.

Just had an issue sending out email about 5 minutes ago but that seems to have been resolved now. So far so good.

Thanks for the hard work, Erik!

Member email seems to be down again - same message as before.

Just an FYI in case you aren't aware.
