The filesystem on AIX which contains the system mail boxes for the
user's became corrupt some time before 9:00 AM on Monday March 1,
1993.  As a result, the mail filesystem is being restored from the
Wednesday night backup, February 25, 1993, which was performed at
8:53 PM.

Up until the filesystem is rebuilt and restored (sometime after
1:00 PM 3/1/93), the ability to receive mail has been shut off on the
mail server.  Shutting off the mail server will result in any mail
attempting delivery after 9:00 AM on Monday morning March 1, 1993 to
be deferred for up to three days.  As a result any mail which has
attempted delivery since Monday morning will be delivered when the
filesystem is placed back on-line sometime Monday afternoon.

All mail received between the Wednesday backup and approximately
9:00 AM on Monday which has not been saved to files in the users
account has been lost without possibility of recovery.  As a result,
any mail sent to another AIX user between 8:50 PM on 2/25/93 and
9:00 AM on 3/1/93 should be resent.  If you were expecting any mail
from a user during this time, you should request that they resend it.

We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused and will continue
to investigate the cause of the corrupted filesystem.
