Synthcom back online

Synthcom is back up on the new OS. Things appear to be running
smoothly. Majordomo is working fine. All mail programs are working
fine. Dialin lines are working fine. FTP, Web, etc... all work as it
should.

For those of who you emailed me or spammed the mailing lists with mulitple
messages, shame on you. I warned you already that Synthcom would be down
and that it would be back up by 2AM PDT (it came up at 1:45AM).

There is going to be some mail queue weirdness (as in some messages not
being delivered at all and followups coming through OK) as there were
messages queued up before the switchover took place. The mail queue file
formats aren't compatiable, so we've lost a few messages (nothing to the
MAME or MESSDEV lists, though) in the transition. And I have no intention
of sifting through the messages by hand to figure out what they were,
either, so don't ask. ;-)

Also do not assume Synthcom is down or malfunctioning. Reserve that
judgement until a few days have passed. I'm sure there are several mail
servers out there that couldn't contact Synthcom for a few hours and have
queued messages up for Synthcom. That means you'll get messages out of
order. This is a normal downtime transition process that should work
itself out in the next 24-48 hours.

FreeBSD 4.0 is snappier than 3.2 is. Turnaround time on just about every
operation is much quicker.
