Mail Down Again?

[Rik]

Me too, 3 hours 33 minutes of delay.

[madasahatter]

Me too.

And me - about time too 

[Baz]

yeah just got some too    about 3 hours.

any idea what it was

[Philip]

140 mins from yahoo.co.uk account  still waiting

[Rik]

No ideas, Baz, I've heard nothing back. Based on history, I'm guessing the boundary servers have been hit with an influx of spam and have ground to a halt. Why that keeps happening, assuming I'm right, I really don't know.

Why do these things always seem to happen on a weekend, when there is no support, though? 

[Rik]

I wish I knew the answer, Mad. I would have hoped to have heard from them by now.

Sod's law, Mad, but in fairness, it does appear to have been fixed.

[Rik]

It does, Simon, I've just re-tested and domain to IDNet is as fast as normal.

[David]

Hoping this helps...serious update

Just recieved mail from Amazon and Ebay so all is well here,just keeping you up to date to let you know it has not affeted whatever Im on.

[Rik]

We often wonder what you're on, David.

[David]

God what would I be like if I were to be on anything 

[Rik]

Would we know? 

[Steve]

I think we all should be on something after all the tension and high drama we suffered over the last few weeks. Never a dull moment

[David]

  Would you believe Im a very quiet man and sometimes painfully shy 



Glad the Mail seems to be getting back,wonder if it was something not related to the service rather an outside incident..not that I know what goes on

Who knows, David - until someone tells us, we can only speculate.

[David]

Dont do that you can go blind

[Rik]

 

[David]

Let your guard down there Rik 

[Ted]

Just for the record, mine came in at 19:01 around 3 and a half hours-ish. I think with hindsight. that's no more than a "blip"

[David]

Blippin Hell Ted................................glad you have your mail back though...(are you it wasnt Rik,its been quiet and may have been a liitle bored 

[Lance]

Until we hear from support, I would agree with Rik's guess that the problems were caused by an influx of spam. Fortunately, whilst inconvenient, it wasn't a massive delay. What i want to know is whether idnet have any plans on how they are going to deal with there spam influxes in the future. I would hope an extra server may be employed to spread the load a bit more.

My opinion on what has happened here and with the previous speed problems is that there is not enough communication from Idnet. Hopefully this is something they take on board and aim to improve.

[Rik]

I have to agree with you, Lance, on all counts.

So do I, even more so as I note that Simon_idnet was logged in to the Forum at around 5.00 pm and again at around 9.00 pm yesterday, yet failed to make any comment on the issue.

Sadly this is just not the same IDNet that it was say 12 months ago.
