[net.mail] mail & news problem on `seismo'

dsc@izimbra.CSS.GOV (David S. Comay) (10/07/86)

a little over a week ago, the mail and news gateway functionality that
had existed on a vax 11/780 (previously known as `seismo.CSS.GOV' or
just `seismo') was moved to a sun 3/160.  a number of problems occurred
during this move, some having to do with software, some having to do
with hardware, some having to do with the congestion the arpanet has
been experiencing of late, some having to do with pretty bad luck and
some having to do with some mistakes by yours truly.  in any case, off
and on for a number of days the sun known as `seismo' was unable to
talk to either its uucp neighbors or its fellow internet sites.  in
addition, some mail was lost last thursday and some perfectly valid
uucp mail was returned by seismo!uucp (with the complaint of non-zero
exits codes.)

at this moment, `seismo' is running fine, although there are still
quite a number of things queued up for both the internet and the uucp
sites we talk to.  if you continue to have problems, please call me at
703-276-7900 or i can be reached by email at `seismo!dsc' or
`dsc@seismo.css.gov'.

sites on the internet should note that the internet address of
`seismo.css.gov' is no longer 10.0.0.25, but rather it is
192.12.141.25.  in addition, the vax previously known as
`seismo.css.gov' is now known as `beno.css.gov' and its internet
address is 192.5.11.5.
