NC036: Scheduled mail server maintenance

21 July 2020 00:43:22 +0000

During tonight’s maintenance window we will be adding hard drive storage to server NC036 to continue to provide more storage space for a growing number of growing email accounts. This maintenance is scheduled to start between 00:45 and 01:00 UTC and we anticipate it will last less than one hour.

During the maintenance the ability to send and receive email will not be available, both via standalone email programs (e.g., Outlook, Thunderbird, etc.) and the webmail. Incoming email will be queued on the sending servers until our server is back online again, after which it will then be delivered to our server and your email account. This may result in a delay longer than the planned hour of the maintenance though.

Please monitor this status page to be notified of the start and end of the maintenance. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact NinerNet support.

Thank-you for your patience as we continue to work to improve our services to you.

NC036: Emails to Hotmail/Outlook being redirected

22 May 2020 07:03:49 +0000

Some clients may have had emails they sent to Hotmail, Outlook and other Microsoft email service domains bounced in the last 24 hours. This is because the primary mail server’s IP address has been blacklisted by Microsoft, despite our being enrolled in their “Junk Mail Reporting Program”. Our being enrolled is supposed to result in our being informed of spam complaints (which are overwhelmingly false) before our IP address is blacklisted, but their system seems to have been broken for the last few years.

Until we can get in touch with Microsoft support to have our IP address removed, or until our listing expires, we are automatically directing all email to their domains through our relay server, which is not blacklisted.

If you had an email bounced, please resend it. Thank-you, and sorry for the hassle. If you have any questions please contact NinerNet support.

NC036: Maintenance complete

9 March 2020 01:56:38 +0000

The scheduled maintenance on server NC036 is complete. The ability to send and receive email was not available between 01:04 and 01:15 on 9 March UTC. The new disk space has been tested and all is running normally.

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