I take it it is hosted off-site? (Otherwise, what good would it be if the email account for outages was hosted on the same server that goes out?)

Hi,

As part of some work to improve the reliability of the Toolserver, by
making sure admins are aware of problems, we have set up a new email
address for reporting outages.  This replaces the previous "send a text
to river" procedure (the motd will be updated shortly).

The new address is: ts-major-outage (at) TCX (dot) ORG (dot) UK

You should mail this address in case of major problems, for example:

* A login server is broken
* The web server is broken
* A normal database is broken (but not a fast server, unless it breaks
 something else)

Don't use this for less urgent problems, such as:

* JIRA or FishEye is broken
* SVN is broken

Admins will be usually be automatically notified of these problems, so
you might want to check in IRC or the status page to see if it's already
known before reporting it.

       - river.
