Mon Dec 1 21:50:04 PST 2003 — Kernel Upgrades: Due to a new exploit that’s been seen in the wild, we are upgrading all of the kernels on our servers. All machines which customers have access to have already been patched and rebooted. We’re continuing to work down the list of servers, eliminating any potential problems. We have run into one issue so far: the SQL server used by the SpamAssassin cluster didn’t take it’s new kernel and is currently off-line. We hope to have it back up shortly after some hands on work is performed. Until its service is restored, SpamAssassin will filter mail based on its default settings. -Kelsey and Nathan
