Well, not really.  Actually the University at Albany will be doing
electrical maintenance this weekend and the computers will be offline
from Friday evening through Sunday afternoon.
 
Due to the nature of LISTSERV and electronic mail, any postings to BEE-L
will not be lost but will be held at the "point of last failure".
When the host computer (cnsibm.albany.edu) comes back online on Sunday
the mail that was held will finally reach its destination and be processed
as usual.  However, during the outage, mail directed to
[log in to unmask] (and ALL mail directed to [log in to unmask])
will appear to have failed.
 
As I write this it occurs to me that that's how things would work if all
mailers are configured as are the mailers here at U of A.  However, if
the "point of last failure" is a site with a very conservative "retry"
configuration (like give up trying to deliver undeliverable mail after
3 hours vs 3 days) then postings will be returned to sender marked as
undeliverable.  For this reason it would be best if all subscribers
take a little BEE-L vacation this weekend and play with their bees
instead (apologies to those who only work and never play with their
bees).  And apologies in advance for this inconvenience to all BEE-L
subscribers.
 
Respectfully submitted,
Aaron Morris, IBM System Manager
University at Albany
