We ran out of space on one of our listserver's disk drives last
night.
This had at least two consequences:
(1) Some messages which were sent to the lists last night
are irretrievably lost from the archives.
(2) The SmartList software couldn't build digests. So,
rather than not delivering messages to DIGEST mode
subscribers, SmartList forwarded the messages on to
them in MAIL (individual article) mode.
I've fixed the disk space problem by moving around some files, and I
believe everything is operating normally now. There may be some
delays in delivery today while we work off the queue that
accumulated as I was reorganizing the file system. Cheers, B.
