Server NC018 replacement: Update 1

19 March 2013 23:32:01 +0000

A contributory cause of the performance issues on server NC018 is one of the anti-spam systems on that server. Unfortunately, we have had to deactivate part of the anti-spam system, and we’re already seeing the results in the form of spam that would normally be blocked reaching mail boxes. We apologise for this temporary issue. On the plus side, the anti-spam systems on the new server will be an improvement over the one on the old server.

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’re actively working on this issue and will restart SMTP as soon as possible, and post an update here.
