Re: What is the delay?

Chris L.: I am always so amazed by your tecnical explanations...the
world of computer programming is something I know ***absolutely***
nothing about...but you always explain it in a way that is so
understandable it makes it seem easy. Thanks for all the hard work we on
this list know you are doing behind the scenes to make this work so
smoothly...it is truly appreciated. :-)

Kitty, you stated yours were not coming <br>> thru and I sent the above

Donna was partially right in saying that this was because of the big<br>
Internet worm that's been going around. A mail loop over the weekend<br>
caused one of the hort.net disks to fill up with lots and lots of<br>
copies of the worm (no, we weren't infected), so when the disks ran<br>
out of room the lists stopped working.<br><br> I have a backup mechanism
in place to save the messages if this<br> happens, so I went through
each message in the backup, made sure that<br> it hadn't been resent to
the list, and then resent it myself.<br><br> The end result is that some
messages on the weekend of Aug. 30th<br> ended up going through the list
a few days late. This happened to<br> all of the hort.net lists.<br><br>
Sorry about the confusion. I'm now writing a script to monitor the<br>
disk space and remove unnecessary files (as well as notify me) if<br>
the same situation presents itself again, so hopefully we can avoid<br>
the delayed
emails.<br><br>Chris<br><br>---------------------------------------------------------------------<br>To
