Innocuous Returned Mail 2/25 1:03 PM – 1:12 PM
Due to human error, two of the departmental Mail eXchangers
had a temporary problem between 1:03 p.m. and 1:12 p.m. PDT
on Monday February 25, 2008.
In addition to the normal delivery to @ERSO.Berkeley.EDU, @CS.Berkeley.EDU, and @EECS.Berkeley.EDU e-mail addresses during that time, bounces were sent to the envelope sender typically with a “Subject: Returned Mail” and text about either “mailtest.cs.berkeley.edu: host not found” or “mailtest.EECS.Berkeley.EDU>… User unknown”
No email was lost. We are sorry for the inconvenience.
