Noc, which is still on-line at Nyx HQ, does cache
incoming e-mail for a certain period of time. I am fairly
certain that the cache is now full. Noc is still up
(see http://erebus.nyx.net) but the loads are consistent
with it spending a lot of time refusing repeated connections.

Noc is still using the old Micropolis drives from it's
days as a newserver. If we replaced those with bigger
drives then it could go for longer.
