[Asterisk-Users] [OT] List messages and end user outages

[Robert Webb]

Sorry, this is off topic to asterisk itself, but is about 
the list server.

I had a power failure lastnight at home, where my email 
server resides, and my network was down for about 20 
minutes, that was after 45 minutes of uptime on UPS. Since 
power was restored, around 9:45 PM EST on 2/16, I have not 
received a single post from the users, biz, or dev lists. 
Normally when this has happened in the past, it has taken 
24 hours for the list server to start sending to my email 
server again.

My question is why so long? I am on other lists and it 
might take an hour or so for the messages to start showing 
up, but why 24 hours for a 20 minute loss of contact with 
my email server?
