Mail Outage

[ #34182 ]

It would seem my routing ISP is suffering again. It's a pain as I've been having a few private and mailing list conversations this week and suddenly they all dried up this morning. As a blanket announcement, if anyone wanted to get in touch in the short term you can use my missbarbell@easynet.co.uk account. I've been meaning to turn that account off for sometime, it's just as well I haven't got around to it :)

I wonder if this is a yearly thing, as this has been happening roughly around this time for the past few years. I really must get around to properly setting up my own mail server.

  • I recommend bytemark [bytemark.co.uk] for your mail sewer. I also keep a few other shell accounts around so I can at least send email if they ever have an outage. freeshell.org [freeshell.org] is good.
    • I'm currently setting up exim on my server at the moment :) I've also got access to a Bytemark server so that may be the backup plan :)

      Since NicNames got bought out the service levels have just gone down hill. I'm now planning to move all my other domains across to Simply.com, as they are local (Worcester, I practically pass it on the way to work every day!) and have 3 mail servers as opposed to the 1 I have with EasySpace.

      I suppose I could go with a certain major mail security provider, but I'm not sure
