Time to reconfigure…
April 27th, 2009
Y’all remember this one? Yeah, the mail server went down again today. Fortunately, it’s a VM so I’m thinking of just taking it offline this evening, allocating more memory and CPU (although shortage of memory seems to be the problem) and seeing what it does. Unfortunately, that doesn’t help the mass number of calls we get.
:::RING, RING, RING!!!:::
Me: “this-is-GT-yes-I-know-the-mail-server-is-down”
Caller: “Oh, I thought it was just me doing something dumb.”
Me: “Well, that’s a matter of debate. Thx for calling. Gotta run.”
:::RING, RING, RING!!!:::
Me: “this-is-GT-yes-I-know-the-mail-server-is-down”
Caller: “Ummm, do you know the email server is down?”
Me: ::crickets chirping:: “It is? Gee, thx for letting me know. Let me get back to fixing it.”
:::RING, RING, RING!!!:::
Me: “this-is-GT-yes-I-know-the-mail-server-is-down”
Caller: “Ummmm, Millenium is down.”
Me: “Okay, I’ll have to get back to that after I fix the email server.”
Caller: “Actually, I meant email. Email is down.”
Me: “Very helpful, thx.”
And the be all, end all kicker. An email. From a user. Telling me that the email server is down.
Ummm, thx?
