SpamCop.net e-mail issues

* [13:46 EST] Friday night we had a problem with the main database server. We moved to the backup, but this caused sporadic mail outages for about an hour. Today, we discovered that one of the filter machines was still trying to use the old database. This means that mail was queued on this machine. We've fixed this and the backlog is delivering now. Once this mail is delivered, we don't believe that any mail was ever bounced or missing. Thank you for your patience while we fix these issues.

This also probably feeds into a couple of Topics/Discussion found 'here' ....
