We have a major maintenance event happening this weekend, 23-24 July. Please read the details on our blog.

Email delivery issues: Zamtel and iWayAfrica

1 July 2011 19:24:14 +0000

For the last couple of days we’ve been seeing email to zamtel.zm addresses queued on our mail servers. Not sure what’s happening on their end, but our systems are working fine and mail to other destinations is being delivered normally.

Also, the delivery issues with iwayafrica.com addresses that we’ve been seeing for several months now — in fact, the better part of a year — continue. Email sent to these addresses is usually not delivered for several days, if at all. Again, this issue is with the destination mail servers, and is not under our control.

Server NC018 update

29 April 2011 10:31:12 +0000

We’ve taken a thorough look at everything and are confident that there are no issues on the server itself. Router graphs show that the server has sustained somewhat higher than normal traffic over the last few hours, and this may have been the issue, but everything is operating smoothly at this point and has been for a while now.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please contact NinerNet support. Thank-you.

Performance issue on server NC018

29 April 2011 06:50:40 +0000

We’re investigating a performance issue on server NC018. The server was rebooted at 06:00 UTC, and this seems to have improved the situation, but we’re still looking for a cause and will post more information here shortly.

SSL certificate issue resolved

21 April 2011 06:06:25 +0000

We have tracked down the problem with the new SSL certificate on server NC018 and fixed it. We have also tested on Windows, Mac, Linux and iOS (iPhone) computers using Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Chrome and Konqueror, and all work as expected. We have also used a testing tool made available by the issuer of the SSL certificate, and the SSL certificate installation passed all tests.

If you have experienced problems loading SSL pages on a niner.net sub-domain — e.g., the control panel (cp.niner.net), the webmail (webmail.niner.net), etc. — please close and restart your web browser to clear this issue on your computer. If you continue to experience the problem, please try rebooting your computer. If you still experience the issue, please contact NinerNet support, and tell us what operating system you are using (e.g., Windows XP/Vista/7, Mac, Linux, etc.), what browser you are using (e.g., Firefox, Safari, Internet Explorer, Chrome, etc.) and the version number of your browser. Please also include the exact text of any error messages you are seeing.

We apologise for the inconvenience this may have caused you.

Problem with new SSL certificate on server NC018

21 April 2011 01:00:06 +0000

Early yesterday we installed a new wildcard SSL certificate on server NC018. In the testing we did everything worked fine. However, we’ve had reports today that Mac users are getting an SSL warning from both Firefox and Safari, and some Firefox users on Windows are also getting the same warning.

This affects sub-domains of the niner.net domain — e.g., the control panel (cp.niner.net), the webmail (webmail.niner.net) and a few other sub-domains.

We are looking into this and will post an update here when the problem is fixed. In the meantime, it is safe to ignore the dire warning by following the instructions you will see in your browser.

20 September 2010 08:08:32 +0000

We have determined the issue with this listing and made the necessary submissions to have this erroneous listing removed. Unfortunately, when this happens is beyond our control.

20 September 2010 06:33:08 +0000
