A good idea for a better mail is still welcome :) Here it goes: #v+ We're experiencing problems with our machine responsible for security updates. It's overloaded because of last update for XFree related packages. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to fix it as long as most woody/sarge users download new packages, but there is work in progress to avoid similar situations in the future. #v- Asking for using some apt-proxy packages when someone's updating more boxes would be probably helpful too. Of course some native speaker should proofread it. Anyway I really think that when we talk about security there are no snappy mails. The most important thing is to inform users about problems if they can experience troubles fixing them with simple `apt-get upgrade`. regards fEnIo -- ,''`.
