Hey eveyone,

Sorry about the down time yesterday and late on the 2nd. Seems that starting on July 1st, there was a marked increase of SPAM e-mails coming to Gerry, our list server. While the server rejects the postings from non-subscribers, it still logs the attempts. Over 2 Gigs of disk space were consumed space just in logging the crap. I have cleaned off the disks, and we are back in business.

It happens from time to time (usually when a new mail-enabled virus breaks out)...it's just life on the 'Net.

Thanks for your patience, TomC tcarrington@relitech.com http://volksweb.relitech.com http://checkerweb.relitech.com 85 VW Vanagon Crew Cab 82 VW Westy Diesel=>Gas Conversion 81 Checker A-11 (Taxi) 65 VW Notchback
