Birthday plan

[damerell]

I have a cunning birthday plan. My actual birthday is the 27th November; however the 26th is a Sunday.

I will be in the Pembury from about 3pm on the 26th. Bring beer and pretzels games if you feel like them. There may have to be Family Business (glug!)

Drop me a comment if you feel like coming.

Been trying to send you email, but chiark doesn't seem to be listening. Send me mail from an alternate address? username at livejournal will work for me if you don't know my usual address.

Curious - I see delivery attempts being 4xx on the 13th over one hour, but neither a rejection or a successful delivery attempt. Wonder why it gave up?

It ought to be OK now.

The original error was a timeout, then more recently "Too busy (431/224 2024) [Irritated], try later" which is still going on...

Last I've got is a delivery attempt at 2006-11-13 16:56:43 GMT, with the first such at 2006-11-13 15:53:47 GMT. Sure your end's retrying?

david.damerell@oracle.com works too...

Yes, I'm sure. I just manually tried it (times in GMT-5):

2006-11-15 08:38:26 1Gje71-0004PX-Dt == damerell@chiark.greenend.org.uk R=lookup
host T=remote_smtp defer (0): SMTP error from remote mailer after initial connection: host mx-relay.chiark.greenend.org.uk [193.201.200.170]: 421 chiark.greenend.org.uk Too busy (235/228 1141) [Irritated], try later

Trying right now it's timing out again. Network to chiark seems clean and fast, a connection to port 22 responds quickly but port 25 just isn't happy. With a smaple size of 5, connecting from the UK seems to be fine but from several places in the US not.

I'll bounce the message to that address.

That's very interesting - I've just found something else in the logs. I'll try and get it sorted out at this end - it's not working right, I think.

It's probably academic now, but the problems at this end should be corrected. Thanks for alerting us.

Ah, lookie there. Manual retry gets that mail through now, glad it's fixed.

[damerell.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that.

Incidentally, amid all this UNIX admin theatre, I should say - sorry, I have a prior engagement. :-(

Ah well, another time.
