Thanks Alex.

sounds like it's back up but is the queue slammed? I am still not receiving any emails. emails are sending OK but nothing is coming in.

yeah, the queue is a bit backed up right now. My guess is they're working on it.

Sorry folks, Mail1 is having trouble with processing, we're looking into it.

I haven't received any email to my mailbox since morning, even I sent email from other accounts , it doesn't come through

you might want to give it a little more time shahed. I was having the same issue, but now the messages are pouring in. Looks like the queue is finally catching up with itself.

Got it... I think. Queue peaked at 6000, which actually isn't that monstrous so stuff should have been getting through slowly, and falling at a decent pace. Still watching it.

[jmbeach]

yeah, I've never seen the queue go down as fast as it is now - that's great! Messages are pouring in now

Thanks for the continued hard work.

everything looks back to normal.

this did not go as smoothly as it should have... but I must say, Vortech has come a long way in the last year.

thanks.

Well, mail1 is a legacy box--the last mail server that dates back to before the "last year," which is why it's been a pain more often than the rest. We'll be replacing its other drive too some time in the next month (with a lot less downtime) and that will make it pretty much identical to the others. It's already had the rest of its hardware upgraded.
