Server issues
Hey peoples...we’ve been having mail server issues for a *long* time now...turns out it was Lee’s fault! :) Someone was sending him *thousands* of spam emails a day. Multiple thousands, with attachments. For some reason trying to forward his Moorewatch address to his real one was creating massive mail queues that would eventually clog the server and eat all the CPU, forcing me to reboot and clear the queue as fast as I possibly could. I deleted his Moorewatch mail account and the server just dumped 4500 messages on my account alone.
If you just got a shit-ton of emails from one of our sites...sorry! It looks like the problem is, for the moment, solved.
