[net.news.config] Mail problems at Reading University

adrian@onion.cs.reading.UUCP (Adrian Pell) (02/08/86)

The mail service at Reading University was in chaos between 11 pm
Thursday 6th February, and 6pm Friday 7th February (GMT).

Much incoming mail and outgoing mail was thrown into dead letter
files, owing to a large number of UK sites disappearing from our
tables.  The problems are now over, and we are working OK again.
We have recovered as much of the junked mail as we could find,
but ... if you get no response to mail you sent to or through
Reading, please resend it.

Apologies all round

Adrian Pell
