    It's strange. Articles are (were) not going out, but coming in ok.

    The issue is with the inn2 servers, not the website. The site sends to i2pn2.org, which then peers with two inn2 servers that each have a pathway
    to peer with outside servers. Both of those servers were not sending
    articles out, and I don't know why.

    I have one working now, so the spooled articles should have been sent, or
    will send soon, but still working to get the other one working.

    I don't know why both would fail at once, but always think of what you might have changed:

    A few hours ago I modified the dns spf records for both the servers, but I don't
    see how that would cause a problem.

    Also, peering is communicated via internal ip addresses at the provider I use. That
    "might" explain an issue, since peering from outside servers continued to work.

    Ok, now both seem to be working properly, but I really would like to figure out what happened. I did the standard, "hey, let's try a reboot", and that worked for
    both. For now, anyway.

    I find that ipv6 connections are failing. Swiched all the connections between servers
    to ipv4 and the disconnected errors have stopped in news.notice. Let's see what happens now,
    I'd like to have dinner :)

    The problem went away for a few hours, and now it's back

    I'm hoping it's working now. It appears to have been a networking issue at
    my provider. Over the last several hours, articles from yesterday and
    recently have been streaming in, and outgoing is working.

    I'll keep monitoring. I hope it keeps working, but that's not usually how things go.

    Thanks for notifying me of the issue!

    Not quite properly. Seems to have appeared since I added wrapping at 75
    chars when posting.

    I'll look into it.
