Email delivery outage

Sunday September 30, 2007 10:30am - Monday October 1, 2007 8:30amEmailadmin

A server that processes email went down on Sunday morning. The result was that no new email was delivered until it was brought back online this morning (Monday). Because email systems hold and retry messages that can’t be delivered, you should now be receiving all messages that would have been delivered during the outage. It is unlikely that any mail was lost, however senders may have received warning messages.

Outlook and Calendar outage

Monday September 24, 2007 8:00pm - 9:15pmCalendar Serveradmin

The Oracle Calendar server will be unavailable for upgrades on Monday evening beginning at 8:00 PM. A major effect of this will be that Outlook may have difficulty functioning properly. Email will still be accessible during this time but only via Webmail.
