Server NC020 maintenance

28 September 2012 17:36:34 +0000

We will be performing maintenance on server NC020 during our normal weekend maintenance window this weekend to increase its capacity. This window opens at 19:00 UTC on Saturday, 29 September. (Please see the World Time Server to convert this to your time zone.)

We expect fewer than five minutes of downtime during this window, and this should occur between 19:00 and 20:00 UTC. However, we expect it is most likely happen within a few minutes after 19:00.

Server NC020 is more commonly known as the PHP 5 server, and for the most part runs websites (WordPress, Joomla, etc.) that require PHP 5. It also processes mail for parked and aliased domains. No email will be lost during the maintenance, but it may be delayed for a few minutes.

If you have any questions or concerns about this maintenance, please contact NinerNet support. Thank-you.

SMTP on server NC018 restarted

27 July 2012 22:20:51 +0000

We’ve cleaned up the spam and restarted SMTP on server NC018 at 22:13 UTC. You can now send email again.

We continue to work against the spam, and are escalating the defences. We’ve seen a huge increase in spam the last couple of days from multiple sources, including from throwaway domains registered through a single, reputable registrar. Once we determine the IP addresses of that registrar’s mail servers, we’ll be blocking them until they stop hosting and doing business with spammers.

Once again we apologise for the inconvenience.

We have temporarily stopped SMTP on server NC018 while we clean up a spam issue. This means that most of our clients will not be able to send email through their own server.
