We’re again being hit with a very unusual server load spike, this time in the 200 range. This is highly abnormal. We’re still working on tracking down the cause, it’s very likely a script gone haywire. We are processing a remote reboot and expect to have services online within the next five minutes.

Update. The ultimate cause of the problem has been determined to be a massive mailbombing. Action has been taken to minimize chances of this occuring again.
