Karen Fortoul at CUNYVM pointed out that a burst of X-DEL jobs
hit the US this evening. The wave seemed to follow the end of prime
time at each LISTSERV site (well - built up here until 5 PM CDT when
LISTSERV started processing them after Prime time).
I counted 85 instances of X-FOR AHMET@TRMETU SIGNOFF * FWDED=2 ( NETWIDE
in our log. The flood seemed to hit here around 16:26 CDT... Of course
the flood of null acknowledgements from over 100 LISTSERVs, each sending
85 replies, will put a bit of mail in the queue toward TRMETU...
Of course, I am assuming this is a burst which got released as a
transient and not a loop of some kind (I guess you would call that a
wave generator). But I wanted folks to be aware of what MIGHT be going
on... (Maybe this is normal 5 PM behavior - but it is the first time
it was brought to my attention. I also think 85 netwide deletes for one
user is a bit of overkill).
