    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!

    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,

    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?
