The system that hosts my news and e-mail was under a "denial of
service" attack on Monday. Someone released a few million junk e-mail
messages to bogus addresses, with a bogus "from" address at
d-and-d.com. Just about every one generated a "bounce" message that
came back to d-and-d.com, flooding the system and not letting the
normal flow of traffic through.

It's possible that this was an attack to several domains, not just
one. That would slow the flow of news down at many points.
