Dear Daniel,
I'm sorry to hear about this loss of files.
I think you have a great site and I hope you will recover soon.
Take care,
  Orna

Subject: Restoring List of Subscribers (libcurl list)
Hi
The other day lots of files were wiped out (see http://curl.haxx.se/) on
the 
server hosting this mailing list. Among other things, the list of
subscribers 
and their configs wanished.
As always, you find out backup problems once you want to actually
restore lost 
data and this was no exception. The mailing list data simply wasn't
backed up 
on the server.
I have managed to process certain logs that weren't erased and restored
several 
hundred addresses, but I know there are many that I have missed
(especially 
those who subscribed a long time ago).
These addresses have been added, but NOTE NOTE NOTE that these were
added with 
the default settings. So if you read the mails as 'digest' before, or
possibly 
were using other config settings you must now go to the curl-users setup
page 
and modify your preferences again (and do ask for your password then,
since it 
has of course been reset to a new one).
These restore work conditions also apply to all other mailing lists we
host on 
the cool.haxx.se server. If you were subscribed to any other mailing
list 
there, you may need to resubscribe.
It will take several more days before everything is back to semi-normal
again. 
Please have patience.
More details and progress reports will be available on the curl site.
