Email from webservers suspended

Posted (July 1st, 2006 at 10:11 am PST) by Kelly

We have had to temporarily suspend outgoing email from our webservers due to an enormous spam run. We are having trouble pinning down the exact cause, however it is a distributed spam run across multiple servers (at least 20 that we have found so far). Once this has been resolved we will reenable it and queued email should go out.

This does not affect regular email like you send through your email client or webmail.

Update Sun Jul 2 01:00:00 PDT 2006: Email service for webservers has resumed. Queued email on the webservers is being sent and appears to be caught up now.
