Recent delays in e-mail responses from the RIPE NCC
by Jos Boumans 09 Feb '07

09 Feb '07

[Apologies for duplicate e-mails] Dear Colleagues, Over the past 24 hours, some users have been experiencing delays in receiving responses from RIPE NCC mail robots, including <auto-dbm(a)ripe.net> and <hostmaster(a)ripe.net>. The delays were caused by a large number of inetnum registrations that were submitted over a short period of time and slowed our mail system. The situation has been resolved and all the requests submitted have now been processed. RIPE NCC staff are investigating means of preventing such incidents from affecting our mail systems in the future. We apologise for any inconvenience. Regards, Jos Boumans, RIPE NCC
