Category: UncategorizedA week ago on a Sunday afternoon a server went up in smoke. Must of been electronically smokey smelly!
In any case life has been run flat out since…. All outgoing mail stopped until we moved users to the incoming mail server while we rebuilt the outgoing.
The the next Sunday/Monday morning we had a wind storm that took out some upstream provider equipment. Took out IP aggresses related to our Incoming Server. So… we had to make sure that users that had moved to that server were moved back to the now new Outgoing server. AND rerouted out traffic out through our fiber link AND re-routed our DSL base to an alternate IP for incoming mail AND adjusted our Postini Mail Delivery settings AND modified our DNS record for our email to our Fiber IP block. All the while answering and trouble shooting customer issues related to the same changes. Great customers. They are hanging in there! Nary an unreasonable one in the bunch.
To all you customers – sorry if I was short or brief with you. I am not great moving back and forth from “speak to server-speak to human”. Servers don’t notice when you sit and think abut what to do next. Humans do.
I will be posting some HowTos on setting up email and refine them as I get this site up to speed. Bear with and ask lots of questions.

This site will get more techy and information rich as I populate the data. For now bear with. ;-)
