Host ALMSA-1, the main mail-handling machine for the Automated Logistics
Management Systems Activity, part of the US Army Materiel Command,
in St. Louis MO, and a mail-relay machine for cluster computers at AVSCOM
(the Aviation Systems Command) has been isolated from the MILNET since
Wednesday, 27 March 85, due to a failure of the telecommunications
line linking this machine with the network connection hardware,
located in another part of St. Louis, MO. AT&T have been working on
correcting this problem. We had hoped it would be solved by now, but
as of this writing, it has not. Therefore, I am sending out this notice
from an account on another host.

Any mail you have queued for delivery to host ALMSA-1 will probably begin 
to generate error messages back to the sender by now. If it is possible for you
to hold this mail for a longer-than-normal period in your output queues,
so it will not be lost, we would appreciate it. While we hope we will be back 
on-line shortly, we have no definite idea as to when the problem will be fixed.
