Mail Flow Delays

Posted by Blue Box Group on Tue Jan 20 12:53:00 UTC 2009


During a few short periods over the last 72 hours and then starting at 6am pacific time, our Spam and Virus company Postini began delaying email relayed from our secondary internal mail relay mail2.blueboxgrid.com. mail2 is used to relay mail from our hosting customers to the internet or to mail accounts on mail.blueboxgrid.com. This delay would have impacted mail sent from our IP space to accounts on mail.blueboxgrid.com.

As of 12:45pm, we’ve been able to correct the issue with Postini and implement fixes to prevent it from occurring again.
