UPDATE

[2017-08-04 10:23:28 | Rob McNicholas]

Our servers were patched as planned after the fire-related power outage, but the mailing list software on lists.eecs did not restart properly. The mailing list software was finally restarted around 8:10pm Wednesday evening. Due to the long outage, a large volume of mail was queued up and the server took several hours to catch up.
