Main website problems?

[MartinR]

I received a message this morning about excessive bounces which purported to come from the CentOS lists. I've tried logging in several times and the screen just hangs. Then I had a problem with the mailing lists section of the website returning an error message (sorry, didn't record it). Now clicking on the mailing lists just hangs.

Does anyone know if there are problems with the mailing lists? Does the webmaster?

I would guess, without any knowledge, that it suffers the same problem as the wiki does. Spammers attack it on a regular basis and attempt to treat it as, say, a wordpress install. They overload it to the point where it no longer responds - I was just reading that the VM that runs wiki.c.o is currently under attack and has a load average of over 70.

It may seem counterproductive but the place to report this would be the mailing lists...

Catch 22!
