The Sympa mailing list server (lists.lbl.gov) will be offline due to a scheduled upgrade on Thursday, October 27, 2016 from 5 PM to 8 PM.
This outage will impact all mailing lists provided by lists.lbl.gov including all Level 1 email lists.
During the upgrade, Sympa lists will be unavailable and any message sent to a list will bounce. If the sending server is configured to retry delivery, messages should be delivered after the outage window has passed. Messages coming from servers that do not retry sending will not be delivered.
The Sympa service will be upgraded to the most current version; the operating system on which the server runs will also be upgraded to make use of performance and security improvements.
