[net.news.config] Possible mail loss at GaTech

spaf@gatech.CSNET (Gene Spafford) (07/01/86)

Due to a somewhat corrupted /etc/passwd *and* a full /usr/spool, our
uucp system got into a badly mangled state over the weekend.  As a
result, some mail sent through "gatech" may have gotten tossed into the
void.  If you suspect your mail did not arrive and went through
"gatech" between June 27 and July 1, you may wish to resend it.

We are still suffering from some disk space problems which we must
resolve, so please don't plan on routing any large number of
sizable files through our site.

Sigh.  akgua!glc told me I should have listened to my mother and
become a plumber.  And here I am, tending pipes, installing tees,
and trying to maintain flow under pressure....
