OCF servers and services are currently experiencing unexpected downtime, due to what may be a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on the subnet the OCF is on. Most staffers are currently out of town due to the summer break; while this is being looked into, it's a bit difficult without connectivity to the servers.
Further updates to come on this blog. While our Internet Relay Chat (IRC) server is down, you can connect to CSUA's IRC server at irc.csua.berkeley.edu and join us in #ocf for updates (mibbit IRC client).
2:18 PM: It seems like we're back online, but the causes of the outage is still unknown. No data loss is anticipated; please let us if otherwise.

Well, when the system came back up I was WAY over my mail quota -- which I wasn't near before. I deleted a LOT stuff but it's still over, which sucks and makes no sense, so I'd like to think it has something to do with the failure.
Are you able to login and clear out your mail? Without more details I can only speculate what happened, but it's possible that a lot of mail (or spam) may have been queued while the network was down and then delivered to your inbox, pushing you over quota.
If you haven't already, set up spam filtering, which helps tremendously on the amount of spam you receive.
Is the mail system working? My inbox usually receives 30-40 messages per day . . . there are none since yesterday. Very unusual! Am I losing mail?
thanks
