[MacPerl] DNS upgrades, transient failures

[Vicki Brown <vlb@cfcl.com>]

<x-flowed>You may have noticed some slippage in the MacPerl lists this past weekend.
We (cfcl.com, macperl.org, ptf.com, macperl.com...) have changed our ISP
and our net connection, and, consequently, our IP numbers and DNS.

We thought everything was cool, but we've had a few notes that indicate
otherwise.

If you sent mail over the weekend that doesn't seem to have made it to
the list, you may want to send that message again.

Our informants tell us that mail is now getting through as expected.

We apologize for any difficulty.

We may also, inadvertently, have been victims of "Melissa".

I am told that a number of sites shut down their in in-bound and out-bound
mail during parts of the weekend (and some are still shut down) in an
effort to stop the spread of this virus.  As Melissa only seems to attack
that "other OS from Redmond" our Mac/Unix systems seem to be immune (this
time; knock silicon) but the net does mail by store&forward.  Things
may be slow for a while. (Other lists that I and several MacPerl list
members subscribe to have been oddly quiet of late).

We appreciate your patience and aplogize for any upsets.
We apologize sincerely if you received two copies of this message.

- Vicki
