due to a temporary power outage, the gateway between the mailing list and the newsgroup is currently down.
I hope it will get fixed soon, our brave people from the emergency service are on their way.
Maybe it will last till tomorrow, since i'll stop working in the next minutes, and so I will not be able to power
up the box again.
Kind regards,
Dennis Oelkers
P.S.: Yes, we have UPSs, but not on all circuits, and they are already at full capacity.
The gateway is now up and running again. All queued mails have been mirrored
to the newsgroup since yesterday.
Unfortunately the counter of the last news posting that had been forwarded to
the mailing list was corrupted, so I was not able to repost the comp.lang.ruby
traffic of the last 2 days to ruby-talk, sorry.
The good news is, that I could for once cope with the volume on the
mailing list. Maybe we should disable the gateway completely
Regards,
Brian

Is the Mailing List <-> Newsgroup gateway gone again? Ruby-talk seems a whole lot quieter than I'm used to.
This would require that only one of the media is a lot quieter than usual, not both. Could it be that a new e-mail malware is on the block? The typical signature of this were lots of unsolicited messages from dial-in accounts bypassing the provider's mail server. This signature is invisible to me because I have chosen not to receive such messages (they are sent by computers with a malware infection, spammers and some Linux systems with a badly configured mail system).

Wonder what the typical ML-NG post ratio is? It does seem that the ML
is a bit quiet although I don't recall having seen posts in response to ones
that I would have missed. I guess it would take someone from the NG to
say if this is the case or not but if it is, they can't...
