It's a different problem this time: the mail host (javadesktop.org)'s
web hosting company (theplanet.com)'s server room exploded this
weekend. Literally. See below.
What this means is that all the email<->forum gateways are down till
further notice.

"This evening at 4:55pm CDT in our H1 data center, electrical gear
shorted,
creating an explosion and fire that knocked down three walls
surrounding our
electrical equipment room. Thankfully, no one was injured. In
addition, no
customer servers were damaged or lost.
We have just been allowed into the building to physically inspect
the damage.
Early indications are that the short was in a high-volume wire
conduit. We were
not allowed to activate our backup generator plan based on
instructions from the
fire department.
This is a significant outage, impacting approximately 9,000
servers and 7,500
customers. All members of our support team are in, and all vendors
who supply
us with data center equipment are on site. Our initial assessment,
although early,
points to being able to have some service restored by mid-
afternoon on Sunday. Rest
assured we are working around the clock.
We are in the process of communicating with all affected
customers. we are planning
to post updates every hour via our forum and in our customer
portal. Our interactive
voice response system is updating customers as well.
There is no impact in any of our other five data centers.
I am sorry that this accident has occurred and I apologize for the
impact."
