[lug] BLUG email is working again. Thanks for your patience!

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know, BLUG Email is working again.

Happy to say that our annual internet cleaning which happens about this
time each year went very well, for us.

Completed the usual tasks:
- Flushed out all the incoming email which was from blacklisted domains
- Cleared out lots of outgoing email to recipients that no longer exist
- Put in some new anti-spam filters based on recent covid related scams
- Upgrade the Outlook servers that power this list.

Unfortunately some other companies had a rough day.  Microsoft Azure
got most of the way through its annual cleaning, but the high pressure
fluid used to clean one of their 96" main pipes into their Seattle data
center burst and they're still trying to repair it.  Publicly, they're
reporting "DNS issues".  Best wishes to them to get things fixed up
before dark.

Thanks again for your patience in this important downtime.
