Guest Worldmaker Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Re: GGU Email Server Down... Again Here's the deal. The server on which the Guardians email was operating has suffered a *physical* breakdown and must be replaced in its entirety. In the meantime, Webhost4Life has moved us to a new server. None of the address or mailing list information survived, and thus we must recreate them. However, the mail.globalguardians.com mail address is once again viable on the new server.

Please keep us posted on anything that the players need to do to keep in the loop. Did you already get rid of all the backup Yahoo groups?

I thought when you said that the mail address was viable again that the lists were up. In the immortal words of Emily Litella, "...never mind."

Guest Worldmaker Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: GGU Email Server Down... Again Okay... right now all we've got are the three big lists (chat@, adminlist@, and gamemasters@). Remember to resubscribe (or to subscribe in the first place if you are interested and haven't so far), send an email to: -subscribe@globalguardians.com Only send one email. I've got it set so that I have to approve the subscriptions by hand, basically because I'm still a little untrustworthy of their automated system.

Christougher Posted November 10, 2004 Report Share Posted November 10, 2004 Re: GGU Email Server Down... Again Is it possible to add or edit a page on the website to explain this / keep track of outages and such? Yes, I realize this may be ironic if the website & mail lists are hosted by the same folks (can't access either one). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes' date=' I realize this may be ironic if the website & mail lists are hosted by the same folks (can't access either one).[/quote'] Luckily the website and the email service are on different servers. I will add a mailing list restoration tracker to the Updates page once Becky and I return to Tallahassee. (We're in Orlando until Sunday, and the computer I am posting from has none of the website's files on it.) The Questions list has been restored, by the way.
