BLU server mail down since Sunday

["John Abreau-18" <user=66@nabble.blu.org>]

 The BLU server suffered what appears to be a massive spam attack 
through a botnet hat appears to be mainly in Germany. Mail wasn't 
moving at all, and this morning (Monday, Feb 11) I shut off port 25 and 
deleted large sets of spam from the mail queue, and now we're waiting 
for the mail queue to drain to a reasonably small size before turning 
port 25 back on. 

Odds are this message will also take a long time to go through.
