[bit.listserv.linkfail] Problem at BYUVM Thursday.

SCH@BYUVM.BITNET (Steven C Howes) (02/03/90)

A digit check (on my part) yesterday caused a link definition
in my route tables to be deleted. I found and fixed the problem
very shortly after it occurred...

However, some of the traffic thru node BYUVM was munged in
various ways...

  *MANY* "Received:" headers on mail... all of 'em saying
   that the file was received from VM.BYU.EDU by VM.BYU.EDU.
   These were all delivered (in so far as I can tell (including
   all of the extra "Received:" headers)).

   Mail bounced for various reasons:
     Too many hops (Received headers) (Because of above problem).
     HOST xxx unknown...

   And, some of the traffic just got purged.

In so far as I can tell, MOST of the traffic was delivered properly
with a bunch of extra "Received:" headers.

Please accept my appology for this problem...
