NC023: Spam cleaned up

26 January 2014 15:45:01 +0000

The spam on server NC023 (the relay server) has been cleaned up and the offending IP address blocked. Most of the legitimate email to destination servers that had been deferred as a result of the spam has also now been delivered; however, some mail servers are still not accepting email from this server, so that email will continue to be delayed a while longer until their systems are automatically updated to realise that this server is no longer spamming. This is currently only affecting about twenty messages.

We apologise for this interruption. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact NinerNet support. Thank-you for your patience.

The relay server has been stopped while we clean up a spam outbreak, and identify and block the source. We will post updates here. We expect to have the server back online within the next 30-40 minutes.

NC027: Mail queue almost clear

23 January 2014 14:48:04 +0000

The mail queue will be cleared within the next 20-30 minutes.

Once the queue is clear we’ll be looking for a cause for this incident. There was a great spike in activity on this server around 04:00 UTC, and it’s quite possible that the initial back-up started around that time and didn’t quite manage to catch up.

NC027: New mail delivered immediately

23 January 2014 13:25:21 +0000

Since reconfiguring the mail server we’ve noticed that new email is being delivered right away. It is now only the backlog that is still slowly being processed.

We have made some adjustments to the configuration of the mail server on NC027 and as a result the mail queue seems to be clearing, albeit very slowly. We’re continuing to work on this to speed up delivery.
