Clearly, something is wrong.
top shows the box quite busy. One of the tasks is:

That's probably a script doing the daily backups.
Hm, still running.
The squeaksource process supporting source.squeak.org is also railing
That probably means that full GCs are happening too often, which can be a sign of running low on external semaphores. It's hard to investigate it without having access to the box, but if I were you, I would simply restart it.
Is there anything I can do to help you get access? Wasn't your public-key ever copied into the .ssh directory? I can't remember exactly which subdir it goes into, but I don't have access to /root/.ssh anyway.
I don't know how to restart it. I tried killing the process by pid but it said "Operation not permitted". Who has sudo access on this box?
on the CPU. I even see some qmail processes, anyone know about this?
Probably the mailing list. Hard to tell if it's normal or not, but it probably is.

Pasting emails is not nice :).
This is a relatively private list and I just want to get things fixed.
Now there are 8 emails "backed up". The 4 above plus 4 more.
