Mail outage
Configuration problems on mail prevent proper operation. We are working to resolve the problem.
Webmail performance issues
Greater than normal usage of Webmail caused performance issues. We expect a configuration change has alleviated the problem.
Mail server and wireless system outage
Update 9:45am: Mail and wireless are now working. Mail received during the outage may take several hours to deliver.
The mail server and wireless system failed after an extended power outage around midnight.
Incoming email is being queued on our gateway servers: it will be delivered after the mail server is restored. Outbound email cannot be sent at this time.
We do not yet know how long the email server and wireless will be unavailable. We will update this notice as we learn more.
