19 Nov 08 Brief Sympa List Service Interruption

This morning, we experienced a brief period (an hour or two) during which messages destined for ALA mailing lists on our Sympa server were being bounced.  The problem had to do with the email aliases file on the mail server where Sympa resides.  That file has been restored to a previous version.  The root cause of the problem is being investigated, but full service has been restored.  The quick return to functionality was in no small measure due to fast error reporting on the part of ALA staff, for which we are grateful.
