The compromised machines are being rebuilt. In the meantime, accounts as well as backend services are frozen. This affects my email connectivity as just about every past or present email address I have gets re-routed through debian.org. If you contacted me since November 21, 2003, and are waiting for a reply, please be patient. Services are expected to be restored by around the 26th of November. I should be able to reply by the end of the week. Hopefully.
In the meantime, there are two shortcuts. One is my email at work. The other is my account with the address firstname underscore lastname at that big internet portal with the yodel jingle dot com account. That account is still pretty spamfree, hence the caution about the concrete form.
That being said, my thanks go to all the hard working Debian admins for taking care of the infrastructure.
