Subscriber List Damage

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



All -

I was asked by the IAOC to post a message to the IETF and SIP lists, to ensure that people were aware that the subscriber lists for the IETF and SIP lists were damaged as a result of an anomaly in TMDA and Mailman that occurred Thursday night.

Basically, TMDA misbehaved, and, in the process, caused Mailman to encounter a transient failure in the reading of its databases for these two lists. As a result, rather than simply holding the mail and retrying it, Mailman decided to discard the current list databases and re-create them from 3-year-old data, for both the IETF and the SIP lists.

*sigh*

No email was lost to the system or the archives; however, some people may have missed some messages, or may still not be resubscribed to the list.

Of course we restored the files from backups; however, we want to make sure that everyone gets the mail they missed, and that everyone is subscribed to these lists who wishes to be subscribed.

So...

If you're reading this message in your email box, you're subscribed to the list identified in the subject line, and all should be okay.

If you're reading this message in the archives, wondering why you're not getting list mail, please take a moment to resubscribe yourself to the list, which should resolve your problem.

And regardless, if you feel you missed any mail, we do have the archives available for your reference.

We are in the home stretch of getting TMDA removed and replaced on the servers, and I apologize for any inconvenience caused by this issue. Because server problems apparently happen only in the dead of night, you can be sure that we feel any and all pain anyone may be experiencing.

If you need any assistance, please contact the IETF Secretariat, using the links at: http://www.ietf.org/secretariat/
