We're aware of the mail problems. Working to get that service back online. Email should only be delayed, not lost.

Services appear to be restored. Thanks for your patience, folks!

seems to have frozen our NOC's internet. We're aware and on top of it - as much as we can deal with fiber cuts and power loss in these trying times.

All apologies for this out-of-control situation.

Addendum: you should not lose any email when the servers have access again, but they may be delayed.
