MF1: Emergency Database Maintenance (Resolved)
Thursday, December 2nd, 2010We are currently experiencing issues with mail queuing on the MF1 gateway and will be starting an emergency database maintenance in the next few minutes. Unfortunately, there is no way to determine an ETA for this process. During the database maintenance there will be periods where the gateway will be unable to accept mail and mail will queue on the senders’ mail servers. We will update this blog post when the maintenance is complete.
Update 2:11pm: Database maintenance completed at approximately 1:30pm central time, however the issue of mail queuing does not appear to be resolved. MailFoundry Support is now monitoring the situation and will update us as soon as a resolution is found. We are monitoring the mail queues and forcing delivery on them to keep the mail flowing properly.
Update 4:48pm: We’ve been monitoring the situation for over 2 hours now and it appears resolved. There was a series of messages that came into the queue with some strangely crafted headers that caused the queues to back up. MailFoundry is aware of the issue and is looking for a way to stop this from happening in the future.
