Hey guys.
Our affected clients should be receiving an email regarding the mail server outage later this evening or tomorrow.
On xmas eve, our mail2 machine had a raid array failure. After several hours spent repairing the array, we still had a ton of issues. No data was lost, but after the fixes, a few partitions were turned into a bunch of numbered directories and files. Getting qmail reset up around that took quite some time.
Currently, everything should be back to normal except our webmail module. Webmail will be online later today. We are currently working on it.
Two members of our support staff sacrificed most of their xmas holiday time to get things back up and running asap. Gotta love it when emergency on call shift actually has a big emergency to deal with.
Our mail and mail3 servers were functioning, so this only affected 30% of clients or so.
Oh, and our site is down because mail2 server actually has our website on it. I didn't realise our site was down till now. We have a new server running with our redesigned website on it, but the dns hasn't been switched over yet as we are still in the process of editing things. Our monitoring software is monitoring the new server, not the old site. I guess I should get the site up
