New Webmail service available to Wizmail users

We have just introduced a new webmail version for our beta-system users at wizmail.org.

The service is based on the prayer webmail program, with some adjustments for our environment.

So to all wizmail.org webmail users, please try out the new service and let us know what you think by mailing us at helpdesk@wizmail.org

** Update **

This beta service is now closed.

Image-Only Spam Blocking

We’ve just rolled out a new feature. Image-Only Spam Blocking.  This is a method of spotting the resurgence of image-based spam where there is no accompanying text or clickable links, but where the spammers include the name of the site in the image itself sometimes with a help section explaining how to type the URL into your browser.

This is currently enabled as part of the URL blocking code which works on the clickable links.

Unplanned outage

We took a one-hour hit starting just after midnight today.

Apparently the psu blew in one box in one of our supplier’s racks, and took the whole rack out.  I guess a breaker tripped.  Our 2MX went down, and that system is also the outbound used by most of our customers (we’d prefer they used the 1MX, actually).  Worse, the routers upstream from us went out – so although the 1MX stayed up, the outside world couldn’t get to it!

Sorry, everyone.  All well now.
