We are aware of a delay in receiving email. This has been caused by a backlog in the mail server queue which we are resolving at present.
Update 14:29 – We have identified the issue and working to resolve it now. It looks like emails are sitting in the spool ready to be delivered but not actually leaving the server.
Update 14:47 – Mail is starting to work it’s way through now but this may take some time to complete due to the previous backlog.
Update 15:12 – We have found the issue to be associated with the spam check we carry out on all email coming into the server. As a temp. measure to clear the backlog, we have removed the spam checks and will re-enable them once the queue has been cleared.
This will result in a higher level of spam being received for a short period.
Update 15:25 – The backlog has now been cleared. We will now start re-enabling the anti-spam services we have in place one by one whilst monitoring the delivery spool until we are satisfied all is OK.
