[db-wg] RIPE Database update problem

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails]

Dear Colleagues,

>From 21:30 (UTC) on 24 April 2007 until 10:20 (UTC) on 26 April 2007,
e-mail updates sent by users to the RIPE Database update service were
not processed by the RIPE Database. This problem has now been resolved.
ALL the updates submitted have now been processed. No updates were lost.

We apologise for this problem with the RIPE Database update service.
This was caused by some network adjustments affecting our firewall and
mail servers. It had no effect on updates submitted using syncupdates or
webupdates, or changes made using the LIR Portal interface. Any changes
made by the RIPE NCC Registration Services Department on behalf of RIPE
NCC members were also unaffected.

We would like to thank all our users for their patience while we fixed
this problem.

Regards
Denis Walker
Database Group
RIPE NCC
