Mail Delivery Problems via Directory Server on March 9, 1998

There was a problem in delivery of electronic mail on March 9, 1998
between 10:00 AM and 10:20 AM.  This problem was due to an attempt to
migrate the Directory Server from an older AIX machine to one of the new
Hewlett-Packard machines.  Some of the mail sent to alias@calpoly.edu
addresses during this time may have been returned to the sender
(bounced).

Users who mailed alias@calpoly.edu during the above timeframe would have
received a bounced message from the mailer daemon indicating a "Local
configuration error".  Anyone who has received such a message will have
to re-send the message that generated the bounce error.

Until there is a resolution to the problem, all mail to
alias@calpoly.edu is being directed back to the original Directory
Server for delivery.  Systems personnel are looking into the problem and
hope to have a resolution later today so we can complete the migration.
If we cannot resolve the problem today, the migration will be
rescheduled to another date.
