Folks,

You guys never tell me anything!

It looks like mail stopped flowing at about 0904 PST this morning.  A
little nudge and it looks to be back up now.

Sorry for the delay.  I was a bit distracted. My real job was cleaning
up the mess that a spammer created with two hours access to my
employer's mail server.  This is easy stuff. Cleaning up after 300,000
spam messages go out from your domain takes a little longer.

Moral of the story? Your ISP is NOT going to send you an email asking
you for your username/password.  Your ISP already has it. The folks in
Nigeria? They don't have it until you give it to them. Just say no.
