email down?

[#1]

Is there a problem with email at present?  I am not getting any mesages and even sending to myself it isn't working.

[#2]

Seems to be working for me.  Sent from my Plusnet mail address to external mail address, received in about 3 seconds.

Nothing that I can see, I've sent a few tests to my Plusnet addresses and they've all arrived near instantly. Have they bounced or just taking time to arrive?

[#4]

No they are not bouncing.  I haven't had any messages since about 3.30p.  The ones I sent to myself and also sent from my gmail account have not arrived either.

[#5]

Still nothing arrived.  I just had a thought, would this have anything to do with Bob Pullen if you know what I mean?

Possibly, I'll kick him and find out

Yes, it is something to do with me. We made a DNS switch on your account earlier on today and it looks like you've been removed from Postini before this had time to take affect. At the moment your email will be getting temporarily bounced

Sorry about the hassle. We're looking into this now to see if there's anything we can do as opposed to waiting for DNS to catch up.

Apologies, but this is now fixed.
It only affected people on Bob's list who just had their DNS changed.
Cheers

Just to add to Lee's post, email sent since about 3:30pm will have been getting temporarily rejected with a 451 error. This shouldn't bounce back to the sender as the sending server should reattempt delivery later.
The problem was caused by the the mx.cores rejecting email from Postini.
The missing email should start to trickle through over time.

Problem solved - thanks to everyone for pushing the right buttons

Bob what would cause +Net to change user DNS

Some users are trialling the new system

All back to normal.  It's been ironed out and that's what's important.
