Folks,

You guys never tell me anything!

It looks like mail stopped flowing at about 0904 PST this morning. A little nudge and it looks to be back up now.

Sorry for the delay. I was a bit distracted. My real job was cleaning up the mess that a spammer created with two hours access to my employer's mail server. This is easy stuff. Cleaning up after 300,000 spam messages go out from your domain takes a little longer.

Moral of the story? Your ISP is NOT going to send you an email asking you for your username/password. Your ISP already has it. The folks in Nigeria? They don't have it until you give it to them. Just say no.
