Same.

I sent an email to OUTAGES Mailing List <outages () outages org> at noon today
and haven't seen any post or replies.

I've already received 76 copies of
"Re: [Outages-discussion] Lists dead - after action report?"
and continue receiving them every few minutes, apologies, 77 copies now,
this is clearly badly broken, I do understand this is a volunteer run list,
but normally I do want to receive notifications as it's generally important
if it's on this list, but currently I'm looking at having to block the list
as it's sending my notifications nuts.


Also as an aside, I'd hesitated offering this before, not feeling like I
was known enough or had enough standing in the community for it to be
accepted and used, but if help is needed figuring out the issues, or if it
would help the community to have a backup list, running mailman or
potentially for added diversity running a different mailing list software,
it's been a bit but I've used sympa before as well as mailman to run lists,
I'm happy to host a secondary backup list(s) to offer some extra redundancy
to the community (or if people really wanted to have someone take over the
main I'm willing to, but I'm not asking for that or expecting anyone wants
that), I know some mention has been made in a thread somewhere about adding
redundancy to the list but nothing about the form of that redundancy.

FWIW up to 96 copies now as I write this, it's been going on for about
an hour and a half at this point, I held of sending anything initially
hoping it would be jumped on and at least the sending shut down even if
that meant taking any remaining online part of the list down for now until
there was time to fix it, as I get it, it's Sunday, people have plans, etc,
at this point all I'd ask to be expedited is shutting it down until such
time as people have time to fix it, not for people to abandon plans on a
Sunday to root cause this and fully fix it.
