I have now, 28th April, received a lot of IETF mail dated 26th April so clearly there was a hiccup. I had assumed, as I posted to a list, a DoS attack and I even assumed that I knew which evil actor was at work - but I was wrong.


One of the changes made in this transition was to the IP address range of our mail servers.  As the IETF is a very high volume mail sender our address ranges often need whitelisting or other special treatment by large mail receivers.  Having that special treatment restored with one large receiver took a couple of days (and much thanks to the IETF’r who helped with that).
