unexpected downtime and security upgrade

yesterday, we noticed an attempted attack
on one of our servers from a location in Eastern Europe.
for safety reasons, we took oat.tao.ca offline while
we were investigating and decided to use the opportunity
to upgrade the oat server and enhance our security.
at no time were oat members' sites, mail or list data compromised.
the upgraded server is up; mail and lists are running and most sites
are back online. we expect the rest to be up shortly.

oat and masses upgraded

we have added more physical memory to oat.tao.ca and masses.tao.ca
both servers were successfully upgraded and are back up.

masses list problems

http://masses.tao.ca which runs the OAT lists was not delivering mail at all.
This is fixed, although there are some hardware problems.
We're going to do an upgrade shortly that should address this.
