This is a good place for this report.  Thank you for notifying us.

Between Dora's 5am report and now the problem was already discovered
by others and has now been fixed.

Root cause was Sunday's storage array failure, which caused a timeout
and fatal error of the mail transfer agent on the CVS machine and no
MTA was running this week.  All of the mail queued.  None was lost.
We rebooted the system to ensure that everything would reset cleanly
because if there was this one problem then maybe there was another one
too.  Rebooting started everything okay.  All of the mail went out.
There are now lots of commit mails logged at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/www-commits/2021-03/index.html

Just in case there are other problems on the other systems we will go
ahead and reboot all of them.  But by the time this was discovered it
was already late on a Friday.  Will queue all of the other machines
for reboots next week during daylight work hours.
