For the last half-hour or so, the pop mail server, RSS feed and
Orpheus website have been unavailable. Nothing on the mirror status
page on Paul's site.

Problems again?

With best wishes,

Peter.

I'm off to pay the car tax ..another large slice of
exchequer income that pays for nothing in particular!

Paul will have it running again shortly - he always
does.. ;'))

Indeed - although I must confess I was out this morning, attending Louie's
graduation ceremony at the local Guildhall. Back now though - and
everything should be working ok.

It is indeed, and many congratulations to Louie. Graduation photo on
zfc Rogues' Gallery now?

There shouldn't be. My sysadmin rebooted the mail server, so it went down
for about 5 minutes this morning, but it was back up before i even had a
chance to update the status page.

We're in the process of installing three new servers, so over the next
couple of weeks we hope mail and webhosting, along with DNS will get a lot
more efficient and reliable. :-)

Sorry Paul but it was out most of the day on Monday (at least when I
tried to access the server)and most of this morning. It came back on
at approx. 11.00. I look forward to your new servers and hope these
will overcome these problems for you. Why cannot something be done
with about these world spammers they are causing major problems with
Emails for everyone!!

Best of luck and thanks for your efforts on our behalf.

Hmm. That's more concerning then, because everything was definitely working
fine yesterday. I was logged into the servers all day from here and nothing
was untoward.

Would you have noticed if mail was being bounced? Two people have had to
have more than one try to reach me?

We are having a similar problem known on at least one of our addresses,
reported to Paul. There is an ominous silence on expected responses from
others.

Well it was not 'out' for me at 9:49, 9:56 and 13:03 on Monday, nor at 9:29
and 13:35 on Tuesday - all times when I got successful connections.
