RESOLVED Emergency webmail maintenance.

We are currently experiencing some strange behavior with our webmail service. At this time we will be performing emergency maintenance on a few of our webmail servers. No downtime is expected , but there is a chance that there will be a few short outages. We apologize for the inconvience and this post will be updated as soon as the webmail changes are complete.

Update 7:05pm by Jamesh: We finished fixing this around 6:35pm this evening, since then everything looks ok. If you’re still having any trouble with email or webmail please contact support with details.

    Ignore the thankless whiners??

    Um..if this was a FREE service..maybe Id think that way. But for 120 dollars a year..I expect 99.99 percent mail uptime.

    Huh, both webmail and regular IMAP are down for me, which has been true for about five hours now. I’d say this issue isn’t exactly fixed. But, hey, at least my sites are up so we know it’s not belair having a problem.

    webmail is working fine for me.

    pop3, however, not so much. getting the login rejection on my domains, too.

    come on, guys, downtime happens, i know that. but it’s frustrating when it’s the same kind of thing over and over and over again.

    Anyone else still having problems? A client called me and said their webmail works fine, but when they try to check on apple mail it keeps requesting their email password and rejecting it.

    Anybody see messages return from the ether today? (i.e. is there a mail queue that’s slowly backfilling and delivering messages eventually?)

    Anyone still having problems or are my problems down to something not-DH?

    I still can’t send or receive emails using Apple Mail Pop3. Tried IMAP set up and that too doesn’t work. This has been a week without being able to check through Apple Mail. Treo phone w/IMAP still works, as does Squirrel Mail log-in. Major pain. Please fix or advise how to fix.

    Hello,
    After returning from vacation, have started to see strange messages each time our mail system processes cron jobs (every 15 to 20 minutes or so). I’ve submitted also a support ticket. This happened sometime within the past week or so. Not sure what is a self-signed “certificate” but it keeps submitting this each time cron is processing.

    ERROR MESSAGE:

    The error message received when trying to process bounces was:

    I question how resolved this issue is:

    Warning: Cannot execute using backquotes for security reasons in /usr/local/squirrelmail-1.4.9a/functions/page_header.php on line 72

    Warning: system() [function.system]: Cannot execute a blank command in /usr/local/squirrelmail-1.4.9a/functions/page_header.php on line 72
