riktexan Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 Reported spam about 10 hours ago. This morning I cannot log in for either reporting or to web site. However, I am automatically logged in to forum. Confused and wondering. Rick y'all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I am automatically logged in to forum. Confused and wondering. Also reported elsewhere on this forum by several other users. A recurring or ongoing problem so it seems. This forum and the mail system are on a different server and appear to be working normally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All seems to be working for me here. No doubt a continuance of the reported and noted intermittent login issues. Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidT Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I logged in about 15 minutes ago, and for the first 14 minutes, this server was barely putting out any bytes, nor was the mail server, nor was the newsgroup server....ALL SpamCop services were marginally functional. This was well *after* the extended sytem outage that shows on the Reporting Server Status graphic. It looks like some extreme DOS attacks might have been underway, and were resolved only in the last few minutes. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would check the throughput of your internet connection if you're experiencing problems with all the 3 sides, as they are 3 seperate services on 3 separate internet connections.

DavidT Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 I would check the throughput of your internet connection if you're experiencing problems with all the 3 sides, as they are 3 seperate services on 3 separate internet connections. I did that before posting. I tested my local connections using a variety of different services (HTTP, SSH, POP3) to non-SpamCop servers and they all were just fine. I think that my connection to the Reporting system was fine, but that the news, mail, and forum servers were quite sluggish. I'm pretty sure that all of those systems are under one roof in Georgia.

DavidT Posted December 27, 2005 Share Posted December 27, 2005 they are 3 seperate services on 3 separate internet connections. A little pinging and a few traceroutes show that three of the primary services (mail, news, and forums) are all in the same IP space. The "www.spamcop.net" is elsewhere (and distributed via the Akamai system), but not the services I was complaing about. DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
