We have seen a slight delay in email delivery this morning.
My investigation shows a very high number of connections coming into
our mail servers from the Internet trying to deliver email - much
higher than we have seen in the past.
Combined across our inbound email delivery systems, I would estimate
we are seeing upwards of 1200-1500 concurrent connections. This is
far higher than our normal rate of 300 connections, and higher than
our normal peaks of ~650.
While there have been some delays, no email has been lost or bounced.
I was already in the process of doing some upgrades on some of our
inbound mail servers which may alleviate some of this load and I'll
endeavor to roll out this new hardware by mid-afternoon.
Again, we are seeing slight delays in email delivery this morning but
beyond that all email is flowing both in and out of our network.
Support can be reached Monday thru Friday from 8:00am until 8:00pm,
Saturdays from 11:00am until 4:00pm via phone at 612-337-6340, or via
