Like every other mail server around, mejac.palo-alto.ca.us has been overwhelmed by it. The symptoms are that you will see avalanches of several-day-old mail. I haven't yet figured out whether I can do anything about it, and my options are limited because I'm on a dialup thousands of miles from my computers. But I'll be home tomorrow, in case the problem is persistent and in case there is something I can do about it. This morning there were 35,000 undelivered mail messages waiting on mejac for delivery. They were undelivered because it had not been possible to deliver them earlier.
