Subject: ADMINISTRIVIA - possible disruption

Dear Harp-L,

There is likely to be some disruption on all mailing lists hosted at
garply while we split the processing of mailing lists out from our primary
mail hub to a dedicated list processing machine.

Over the last month the load imposed on our mail hub by mailing list
traffic has been causing significant problems (like gobbling up all the
memory leaving our other services high and dry).

We have now more or less finished building the second mail server (a
DECStation 5000, running Ultrix, with 128Mb of memory). I'm testing it at
the moment, and when I'm happy I'll be moving harp-l (and a bunch of other
mailing lists) over to the new machine. This will probably happen over
the weekend.

Can I ask y'all to restrain your trigger fingers if there is a break in
service (i.e. messages start bouncing, or you don't receive any mail for
a day). Bear in mind that I will be *painfully* aware of any problems,
and that mailing the list going "where's all the messages at?" is only
going to compound the problem!!

If you are a list admin on the CC of this message, could you please
mail a similar warning to your list?
