The database maintenance for MF1 and MF2 is complete, and normal mail flow has resumed.  We apologize for any inconvenience.

We need to run a database check on MF1 and MF2 today.  This may cause some messages to be delayed, but no mail will be lost.

We will post again when this is completed.

We have noticed intermittent delays in the receipt of email for some of our customers.  We are working with MailFoundry to fix this issue, and we have also been made aware of a system update that MailFoundry is going to release soon to address this problem.

Keep an eye out for our new podcast, which will be posted later today.

The scheduled maintenance this morning was started at approximately 1:00am central time and was completed at approximately 2:10am central time for all servers and gateways.  All systems are up and running with no issues at this time.

Please contact support@easyantispam.com if you are seeing any problems or have any questions.

On Sunday, October 28th, 2007 from 1:00 am to 6:00 am CST, we will be performing maintenance on mf1 and mf2.  Our gateways will be moved to a new rack in the datacenter that we are currently housed in.

Please note that each gateway will only be down for about a half hour or so, and any mail will be spooled by the sending server so no messages will be lost during this time.

Additionally, our other servers, including those that house the easyantispam.com and protectedmail.net sites, will be migrated as well and will experience the same downtime stated above.

We will post an update here when the move is complete.
