Perhaps he's referring to debbugs.gnu.org being down periodically the
past week or so.  I assumed it had something to do with the DDOS attack
reported earlier:

That was reported already, several times.

Sorry, due to health problems I couldn't read everything last
weeks. Which problem do you mean?

Best regards, Michael.

I responded to a message which said the site was not responding.  It
responded to another person who had said the same thing.  I don't know
what the problem was -- those details were in other messages -- but
the point doesn't depend on the details of the bug.

The point is to report outages of debbugs.gnu.org to the people who
can actually fix them: the sysadmins.

In the future, please don't change the Subject line when you respond to messages of this mailing list, because doing so causes debbugs to create a new bug report, and that loses the thread information which would allow us to understand the context.  Especially if you don't quote any parts of the message to which you responded.

Bob Proulx has restarted spamd on debbugs.gnu.org, which was
down, and which blocked exim4. Emails are now going through.

The reason, why spamd ceased to work are unknown (at least to
me). debbugs.gnu.org needs to be observed carefully next time.

Best regards, Michael.

I will try to remember, but usually people recommend changing the Subject field
when changing to a different topic.
