EMBC emails

[synaesthesia]

Anyone else not getting/sending external emails currently? EMBC are aware of an "issue".

 

Annoying slightly that they never update their service status page despite being aware. Sigh

just tried my yahoo account to college account - messages neither sent or received though not bounced back so it seems as there is a problem.

Checking MailMarshall it appears all emails are being classified as a virus. Their Sophos is buggered.

 

I hope they can release the emails they've blocked otherwise they're in trouble... worried as they "can't" release emails their spam filters block so I hope they can magically find a way to do it for false positive infections.

They seem to be slowly coming through now, not all though!

spoken to service desk they have a problem - messages coming through very slowly - one test message sent out arrived - an earlier one did not. Incoming from yahoo have not arrived

Finally got my last test email through a couple of hours ago. At least they got it sorted, anti virus apparently was taking far too much load on the server - why that would quarantine a huge chunk of emails as viruses, I don't know. But hey-ho, these things happen and most importantly it's back up and running and the important emails have been received/sent.
