Messages have not been delivered to all of the Lists which run from Damien's server (apparently only to those that are worth remembering exist). Here are a couple from the past week: _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 19:01:41 -0500 From: "Damien M.

I'm still trying to figure out why the battery backups didn't keep things running long enough to handle the outage, but service was restored this afternoon. Damien M.

Hi folks, It seems I've been sending out a lot of administrative messages lately. A few months ago I moved to a different web host, and things have been bumpy ever since. I've had several power outages (with no explanation), and even worse, because the IP address block I was given resides next to a spammer's network block, it too was listed with the spammer. This resulted in quite a few people not being able to receive mail from the various mailing lists run through fractalus.com, as their ISPs would believe I was part of a spam network. Yesterday (Thursday) things got considerably worse, as the bills for the network connections went unpaid and UUnet pulled the plug. I wasn't exactly unprepared; I had been planning to move to a new net connection for several weeks and was waiting for that line to be installed. Thursday morning was the first chance I had to move to that new line, but before I could begin the transition UUnet had shut off the connection. What this means is that although I have the server itself moved to a new location, which enables me to send this e-mail out (and hopefully reach everyone), the directory services which match "fractalus.com" with this new address are out of sync. I am working on getting that corrected but until it does, you will not be able to post to the lists, look at the web sites, or download any files. That may be one or two more days. So I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but this time it truly was beyond my control. :) --Damien _______________________________________________________________________ _______________________________________________________________________ Sincerely, P.N.L. ------------------------------------------------- http://home.att.net/~Paul.N.Lee/PNL_Fractals.html
