I've had my server down for as much as half a day, I think. This was during the daytime hours too, which is a fairly busy time for -stable and -questions. I've never been dropped, though. On another note, I *have* noticed problems with the mailing lists lately. Twice in the last few days, I've been getting loads of old messages, which I'd already read and deleted locally. Is majordomo going insane, or am I? I hope this happens to other people.
