Mail delays due to last night’s power outage.

by

As a result of last night’s power outage, there were some mail delays (and some senders may have received 4-hour notices). Obviously mail has been queued up on the external (and some internal) systems, which caused a spike after the services have been restored. As of now there are still some delays, but things are getting better.

One of the spam appliances had an internal failure last night, which caused it to not be able to properly scan email and deliver it. As a result, there were about 54K messages queued up. It is currently going through the queue and delivering those messages.

Scheduled mail downtime on December 27, 2007

by

There will be a scheduled mail downtime on Dec 27, 2007 from Noon to 4PM.

This downtime is to move from the current storage hardware to the new SAN storage hardware.

Mail will be unavailable during this downtime.

All incoming mail will be deferred and queued. No mail will be lost.

As long as you are using the hostname imap.EECS.Berkeley.EDU, there will be no problems with your mail service after the mail system is back on line.

Thank you in advance for your understanding,

IDSG
