You can PM me, call to the helpdesk in the college, E-Mail the helpdesk in the college or ring the helpdesk in the college.

It is probably indexing your E-Mail if it has been unread for so long. PM me your X number and I will take a look.

Thanks Macrubicon, PM sent.

This appears to be down again any update on when it might be fixed?

macrubicon · 15-08-2012, 16:26

Not down as such.... just processing 32 million E-Mails.

Someone's account was compromised using a brute force attack from Hong Kong.

We are working on it now. All the E-Mail is stored but we are having to process the spam that was sent out in chunks and delete it.

Please make sure your password is something moderately complex... Unfortunately we cannot set that as a policy even though the system allows for it.

I must be the only one that uses it.

You should all be sorted now. You would be surprised how many still use it!

ANXIOUS · 27-08-2012, 11:21

Looks like it is done again, any updates?

macrubicon · 27-08-2012, 12:08

Working fone for me here on POP, IMAP and web - what error are you seeing?

ANXIOUS · 27-08-2012, 12:15

I haven't recived an email since Friday, I've sent them to myself and not recived them either.

macrubicon · 27-08-2012, 12:54

Very odd - Can you PM me your X number and I will get checking.

ANXIOUS · 21-09-2012, 17:18

Looks like this has been down a good while now.

Joyce88 · 21-09-2012, 17:52

Yes ignore the post I made below this so, did not see this thread!

macrubicon · 22-09-2012, 15:47

Folks,

PM me your X Number and I will check it out. I'm still sending and receiving fine so there may be some issues with your accounts. We have restricted some users as they were compromised and used to send out spam....

Cheers,

ANXIOUS · 27-09-2012, 08:21

Looks like it is gone again. Think it's time to change email, does anyone know if I can get this email address forward to a new one?

NiThigim · 28-09-2012, 19:28

Mine works OK. Got a few mails yesterday. Just successfully sent an email to another of my many email accounts!
