As I'm posting this, I can't POP my SC mail accounts, nor can I reach the webmail system....it's not my connection, the server is unreachable.

Full Version: SC email servers currently not responding!
I suppose this is happening to everyone, but I thought I would just add that I can't reach the webmail system (webmail.spamcop.net) via the browser.
But mailsc.spamcop.net is working.

same here... I tried www.spamcop.net AND webmail.spamcop.net as well as the IMAP servers for the mail and they are unreachable.

Actually, the main "www" is working, because that's on a different network of servers. It's only the SC mail-related stuff (all on one server in GA) that's down. I might call the upstream hosting center and bug them....

strangely, the stats show there's still ongoing activity
http://forum.spamcop.net/forums/index.php?...stom&page=stats
so either there may be a DOS (Denial of Service) attack going on OR maybe there's a major Internet link down that's keeping some of us from reaching the servers. I'll have a look at traceroute and some other tools....

Not strange at all...that's all happening on different servers. The mail server is the only one that's down. Unfortunately, Wazoo isn't hanging around here or we could have him page JT.

You're right... sorry for that ... I was looking at the "held mail" page
http://www.spamcop.net/reportheld?action=heldlog
which of course LOADS but complains it can't reach the imap server, just as I cannot.
www.spamcop.net is working fine.
UPDATE mine just came back up... I'm looking at webmail.spamcop.net now.
It's back up....someone must have rebooted the server or something like that.

Thanks for the flurry of correspondence that reassured me that the problem wasn't on my machine. It allowed me the chance to relax with a cup of coffee.
Now the coffee's gone and the Email has arrived so I have work to do again.

It appears that CES had a problem with its storage systems (resulting in a situation in which its IMAP, POP, Webmail, and mail systems were not responding) that was resolved by 11:10 EST -0500 (16:10 UTC -0000), and that CES is focusing on increased reliability.

Then why is there nothing about this latest incident on the "SpamCop Email System News" page?

Posting confessions and intentions there takes only moments and would go a long way toward assuaging user concerns, IMO.
