Description

On Thursday, July 30th, from 6:00PM to 11:59PM PT, DreamHost will be upgrading the server that relays emails sent from shared web hosting servers. We are performing this upgrade to improve performance and reliability for our users. During this maintenance window, emails sent from websites on shared servers, such as contact form submissions and other PHP-generated messages, may be delayed. No email will be lost: messages are queued automatically and will be delivered once the maintenance is complete. Email accounts, mailboxes, and webmail are not affected. All services will resume normal operation after the maintenance window. No action is needed from your side, either before or after the upgrade. To confirm the Shared server where your websites are located, you can visit https://panel.dreamhost.com/?tree=support.dc
