Subject:Sorry, the server was down yesterday.

Hey eveyone,

Sorry about the down time yesterday and late on the 2nd. Seems that starting
on July 1st, there was a marked increase of SPAM e-mails coming to Gerry,
our list server. While the server rejects the postings from non-subscribers,
it still logs the attempts. Over 2 Gigs of disk space were consumed space
just in logging the crap. I have cleaned off the disks, and we are back in
business.

It happens from time to time (usually when a new mail-enabled virus breaks
out)...it's just life on the 'Net.

Thanks for your patience,
TomC
