[ge-talk] Server problems.

[Bruno G. Albuquerque]

Hi All.

We had a serious problem with the BUG-Br server and the end result was 
the fact that the entire server (software-wise and data-wise) has been 
lost. I had to reinstall everything from scratch and ended up upgrading 
the mailing list software which is not directly compatible with the 
previous version. I am having to manually rebuild all lists and this is 
taking a lot of time (as I can only do that on my free time).

I just "recovered" the glasselevator-talk list but with som side-
effects:

1 - Archives are lost for now. I have them on backups but I need to 
figure out a way to import the archives from the previous version of 
the mailing list software into the new version. I won't be doing that 
until I have all the missing lists back up.

2 - If you had 2 addresses subscribed to the list and one was set to 
"no mail", this flag has been lost. The end result is that you will 
start receiving emails on all addresses that are subscribed. If this 
happens to you, let me know and I will sort it up (or you can do it 
yourself if you know how to use the Mailman web interface.

That's it for now. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please spread the world 
and let people know that the missing lists (like bedevtalk, beuser-talk 
and others) will be back as soon as possible.

-Bruno

she's the equivalent of three fourteen-year-olds.'"
