My apologies, while I was on vacation all of last week, the mailbox the 
NAQP logs forward to filled up.

First of all, there is no autoresponder for NAQP logs, so all replies are 
manual as indicated on the logs received page. Also, since I was on 
vacation, I didn't see your e-mail to respond to. I'm currently working my 
way through the 3000 e-mails I received while I was gone.

I'm assuming you uploaded your log using this web form. It indicated that 
this was the first log you submitted because it's the first log that went 
into the log checking database. When you e-mail your log, I use the same 
web application to upload your log and send you confirmation. You'll also 
receive confirmation of your e-mailed log when I manually handle it -- 
probably this weekend.

BTW, this web form is the preferred method of submitting NAQP logs: it 
provides immediate confirmation of your uploaded log, e-mails you a copy of 
the confirmation, and posts your call on the logs received page.

I've typically accepted logs up to a week late under normal circumstances, 
so no one will be "punished" for their log being late because the mailbox 
was full.
