When's this work happening?
During office hours from this afternoon until Friday 25th May .

What does it affect?
Broadband connectivity.

How long will it take?
A couple of days.

What does the work involve?
As part of the ongoing Olympics capacity work we need to migrate a number of servers between suites in one of our data centres.

Am I likely to notice the work?
It's unlikely. The platforms are load balanced so other machines will do the work while the servers are moved and tested one at a time.

Is there anything else I need to know?
No.

Kind Regards

This is an update to Friday's post regarding customers who are having difficulty sending email to certain addresses using our outbound mail servers. This includes (but is not limited to) some academic, government and NHS email addresses.

We are continuing to press the owners of the blacklist, but unfortunately at present some mail servers still remain on the blacklist so users may still see issues when sending email through to affected addresses. As such you may wish to continue using an alternative relay server for the moment.

We'll update this post as soon as we have any further information, and apologise for the continuing inconvenience.

Kind regards,
