For the reasons that Hank mentioned, there is a relatively large number of
inter-LISTSERV command jobs that got corrupted. Although there aren't more
than 10 on today's console log, all came in via DIST2, ie through FRMOP11. I
saw a small number (2-3) of jobs coming directly from other places in the
network which do not seem to be affected.
Thanks to the checksum system, the LISTS database is not being updated with
this corrupted data; however, each server that gets such a garbled job is
immediately going to request a re-ship from the originating server, so that we
may expect a dramatic increase in inter-LISTSERV traffic until the problem is
solved. However, that should allow us to find out whether this problem is
really due to FRMOP11 or not, since the re-ships will be sent directly and not
via DIST2.
Netwide SIGNOFF and DELETE commands are, however, completely lost in the
process. Please stop submitting those until the problem is fixed, as they
usually cause a syntax error, resulting in an error message being sent back to
the originator by EACH AND EVERY LISTSERV receiving the corrupted data. The
jobs will have to be resent after the problem is fixed.
Eric
