Eircomnet mail servers on the ropes

Looks as if it might be spam relay time again at Eircomnet this morning. Mail servers very slow with ETRN commands having little or no effect.

They say that there was a lot of spamming done at the weekend, and they're trying to get queues cleared.

1580 number for corporate tech support, as if they don't charge enough for everything else

I thought the 1580 number was only for informing them that the service was gone to sh!t. I sure as hell have never received any support on it.

And here we are more than a week after the initial problem and Eircom still haven't sorted it out. Still, within the last few minutes we have started to receive e-mails that Eircom have been sitting on since Friday. Not bad for 5pm on a Monday, is it. Still we wouldn't want to expect too much from them and it's not as if e-mail is important to companies these days.

I'm amazed they said there was a problem at 'their end'.... very unusual for them to admit that, must be a BIG problem
