Wow that’s a lot of spam!  Aren’t you glad you’re Protected?

At approximately 12:45 am CST on October 10th, 2007, the virus filtering program on our mf1 gateway got hung up on a process.  As a result, almost 63,000 messages had to be put into the Unscanned queue.  This caused a delay in receipt of messages that had been sent overnight.

The issue was resolved at 10:00 am CST, and mail flow has returned to normal.  No messages were lost as a result of this issue.

Some of you may have noticed that the Report Center was showing no data for the last 5 or 6 days.  We’ve been working to correct the issue and I’m happy to report that it’s been corrected.

Reports from yesterday are now available and new report data will be available after midnight tonight.
