[db-wg] Outage report for updates to the RIPE Database

[ Apologies for duplicate mails ]

Dear colleagues,

>From approximately 19:41 (UTC) to 20:15 (UTC) on Friday, 10 October 2008,
some e-mail update messages to the RIPE Database service,
auto-dbm at ripe.net, were not processed due to a problem with our system.

During the same period it was not possible to connect to the syncupdates
or webupdates services.

All the messages received by auto-dbm at ripe.net were stored on our mail
server. The problem was resolved on Friday evening. All the saved update
messages have been processed. If you sent an e-mail update to the RIPE
Database service during this period, you will have already received an
acknowledgement message. There is no need to re-send any update messages.

We apologise for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

Regards,
Denis Walker
Business Analyst
