Appologies to anyone who sent mail to elwing.org today and got a bounce message.
The disk in the mail server is going casters up and is continuously corrupting the Cyrus database. Since cyrus can’t deliver the mail, it’s sending bounce messages.
On Monday, the new RAID card for elwing will be here and we’re going to put the old Highpoint RAID card with new drives in the mail server. We’re currently installing the system disk as I write this.

As a stop gap measure, I have exim accepting mail and dumping it to the “regular” mail spool which isn’t corrupted (yet). All IMAP mail has been copied off to elwing and will be restored once the system is functional. All exising mail can still be accessed through IMAP. new mail cannot be easily accessed, but we’ll be putting that mail into Cyrus once the new system is up.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
