Of course, Monday the 13th...

Anyways, the server was down for around an hour this evening because the server's HDD had filled up. A large part of this problem was due to AOG email accounts that are either not being used or the users aren't deleting their messages off of the server.

IF you have an AOG email address, please either set up your email client to delete messages off of the server once they're downloaded or if you're using webmail, periodically log in and clear out the crap that is in there. My guy who I had to make that sweet love to to SSH into the box and clear out a ton o' crap noted there were 67 email accounts with around 5000 emails each in them. If you had something deleted from an active account, I'm sorry, but we had no choice.

I had about 12 emails (not 5,000) in my inbox that are now completely gone.

Interestingly enough, the "mistake" would have done better had it wiped out my trash folder which wasn't touched at all and that one contained 300-500 junk emails that I go throgh once a month.

Time to go back to my GMail account...
