china email failures...

[David Miller]

Folks, if you have friends in China, you may let them know
that we've been increasing seeing site-wide bounce problems
lasting days here at vger that require us to remove lots of
people from the lists.

This isn't isolated to one or two sites, it's been seen for
anything from yahoo.com.cn to fujitsu.com.cn

The error is always the same:

	User not local; please try <forward-path>

and every recipient at the site fails this way.

I don't know what causes this, or why it's seemingly only
hitting sites in China.  But when it happens I have absolutely
no way to contact the people who I have to unsubscribe because
my emails to them fail in a similar way.

I am truly sorry for that.

Seems that during China's golden week(4.30~5.4), my colleagues'
machines all be shutdowned, then fujitsu.com.cn's mail server
bounced flood mails which came from vger because no client fetches
mail from server.

I will contact with our Internet administrator to take care of this
thing.

Again apologize for that.
