Scheduled Maintenance for Mail02-P2 & Mail03-P2
Sunday, January 19, 2020 12:18:36 AM CSTUpdate: Smartermail minor update on Mail03-p2 and Mail02-p2 has completed and the service has been confirmed to have resumed normal operations. If you experience any problems after this update then please contact support via the link below.
We will be performing minor updates to SmarterMail on Saturday evening (1/18/2020) beginning at 11:45 P.M. Central.
This will be a minor update so all customer data will be retained. We anticipate this will generate no more than 30-60 minutes of unavailability intermittently during this process. During this maintenance process, email services hosted on these servers will be temporarily unavailable for short sections of time as the SmarterMail updates are conducted.

Selected OS Restarts Windows Server VPS' January 16th, 2020
Thursday, January 16, 2020 11:34:41 AM CST
Today, Thursday January 16th, 2020, we will be performing unscheduled reboots to a select number of Windows Server VMs to resolve CPU issues that have occurred as a side effect of the Windows Update process. Microsoft has pushed out a patch to fix a critical vulnerability, and that patch has caused CPU consumption issues for a select number of customers that we are resolving now.
For those effected, the reboot will be short, and sites and services will be back online quickly. We apologize for the inconvenience, and are working not to see why this update has effected the operating system in this fashion, so this action will not be needed again in the future.
