The SpamCop reporting system has had a server failure and someone is at
the colo working on the problem. I do not know how long it is going to
take to fix the problem.

When I hear more news, then I will let y'all know.

Thanks for your patience!

The SpamCop Email system is up and operational.

As you can see the system is back up again and processing spam.

*However* the saved spams from previous reports is not entirely back
online but is being copied to the new hardware. If you try to look at
your past history/past reports spams you may see the summary but not be
able to access the actual spam until the history completes the copy
which is going to be a lengthy process. We are copying from newest back
to oldest.

With respect to spams that you submitted overnight when the problems
were developing and on into the AM which were unreported: I do not know
if you will be able to access those spams or not. It is not entirely
clear to me as to whether those will "come back" or not. Y'all will know
that faster than I will.

So the bad news is that some zombied machines/spammers got a free ride
for a few hours but the good news is that the system is burning thru new
spam submissions at terrific speeds and that free ride is going to be at
an end RSN :-)

BTW kudos to operations who pulled folks out of bed and had them onsite
as soon as the problems were reported and who are still onsite and
monitoring the situation closely.
