Deferred: Connection timed out with thunk.org. Message could not be delivered for 3 days Message will be deleted from queue Some of you may have also noticed that mail sent to tytso@thunk.org may have also started bouncing in a similar fashion. My apologies. Unfortunately thunk.org failed on December 23rd, and because I and other people who might have been able to gain physical access to the colo facility (where the server is located) have been travelling for the holidays, I haven't been able to get the machine back up as quickly as I would like. Please rest assured that mail sent to tytso@mit.edu is being read, despite the bounce messages. tytso-mit@thunk.org was a backup copy of mail sent to tytso@mit.edu that I established a while back as a backup way of reading my mit.edu mail after my mit.edu IMAP server was down for 4 days.[1] In any case, mail service to tytso@mit.edu has not been interrupted; I am reading mail sent there, and it is the primary way that I should be contacted for any Linux/Open Source related matters. Mail to tytso@thunk.org is currently being held in mail queues, and depending on how SMTP mailers have been configured, may have started getting returned to sender. A few debian mailing lists are set to feed tytso@thunk.org, and some people use it to contact me, although I generally have not published it as a contact address. I'm hopeful that I will get thunk.org restored fairly quickly, and apologize for any inconvenience/confusion this may have prompted. Regards, - Ted [1] An interesting story, which involved the MIT I/T staff waiting 36+ hours for a Solaris ufs fsck to finish on a 1TB filesystem, before aborting it in frustration and using other methods to restore service, but for another day.
