Shellx is back in service.  After restoring from a backup image, re-installing 170 updates, and rebooting, mail continued to function.

     We use postfix for the mail transfer agent.  For some reason instead of expanding what is in /etc/mailname, it was including it literally.

     Re-installing postfix entirely did not fix it so it was something postfix depended upon that was restored from backup but I do not know what.

     Late this afternoon I will be turning eskimo.com down as well as our radius servers to physically move them in the rack to make way for a larger case for another of our servers to address overheat issues.

     I will also be rebooting Igloo, our newest file server, to get rid of a stuck process.  This will momentarily affect all services.  This will probably happen around 4:30-5:00pm.
