Is email down again?

[Dopamine]

Is there a new problem with email?

Email sent to my idnet.com addresses from anything other than idnet.com accounts is not arriving, or is delayed by at least 45 minutes. I know of several emails that have been sent to me from ebay, hotmail and other domains in the last hour, and none has arrived. A test email sent from one idnet.com account to another arrived almost instantly.

I have just tried sending an email from my tiscali webmail account to my idnet.com address at 9:22 and its 9:35 with no sign of it yet!

I tried another from my virgin.net webmail account at 9:30 and it is only 9:35 now but neither have arrived. I guess time will tell! 

I have no problem accessing the idnet pop server so it is dfficult to say just where the delay is.

I can ping the server okay, so I doubt it's down completely...

[Sebby]

Yep, it looks like something's up again as I just sent myself a test message, which hasn't arrived. Yesterday, it was virtually instant.

[LesD]

Yes agreed it's authenticating me OK when I click Send/Recv in Outlook Express.
but it's 9:50 now and neither of my two test messages have arrived!

I've put a call in, so we'll see what happens.  It could be that they are doing some maintenance at this moment, as there is still a spasmodic forwarding problem.

I think your name sake may already know he took a look a the boards round 9:30-ish and then went again and this thread was up there then.

[Simon]

Well, it doesn't hurt to leave a message.  Hopefully they'll let us know what's happening.

Quite agreed certainly doesn't. 

[Ted]

just sent one from the domain to idnet.com, got there instantly.

[Sebby]

Strange, mine still hasn't come through (nearly 15 minutes).

[LesD]

just sent one from the domain to idnet.com, got there instantly.

It seems to be slow from outside IDNet Ted.
10:05 now and no sign of test messages sent at 9:22 and 9:30 from external webmail clients.

[Ted]

just sent another one, nothing. Seems hit and miss!

[Simon]

Just heard back from Simon, and he says everything looks fine, but he's going to have a dig about.

[Sebby]

Make sure he doesn't run a disk check.

[LesD]

Make sure he doesn't run a disk check.

That got to be at least 500 kbps off your IP Profile! 

[Ted]

Make sure he doesn't run a disk check.

[Simon]

  I doubt he'd fall into that hole again! 

[Ray]

Make sure he doesn't run a disk check.

Didn't think of that...

[LesD]

DNS and their caches aging out come to mind with a new machine and very likely a new MAC address but my techie friend at work knows all about these things and I am just an eaves-dropper on such matters.
I bet IDNet are well up to speed on such things though.

it will all be OK in the morning!

[Ted]

Les You're train has stopped running, does it need more diesel?

Perhaps it stops at my Ted.

[Ted]

Perhaps its a mail train

[LesD]

Perhaps its a mail train

Now there's a thought! 

It's now 10:30 getting past my     and still my test messages have not arrived that's over and hour.

Now that is slow and really does suggest that something is up to me.
