Anyone else having issues sending email to Novell? My gwia shows transfer delayed, but I can send/receive email from anywhere else I’ve tried. Sure hope they’re not actively blocking me… – Stevo ---

FYI: ----------[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred] > > > Information Technology Wednesday, September 26, 2012 11:54 AM \>\>\>[/color][/color][/color] Production Outage Notification Impact Please be advised that we are experiencing intermittent delays in processing inbound e-mail from external systems today. Some of our e-mail gateways have been rejecting connection requests from other systems, preventing messages from being received and delivered to GroupWise mailboxes. Current State The IT Messaging Team is working to resolve the issue and has engaged a support team from the product vendor. At this time, an estimate for full resolution has not yet been identified. It is expected that the intermittent delivery will continue for at least a couple more hours. External e-mail systems will continue to attempt to deliver messages for several hours; therefore, we do not expect messages to be lost. – Kim - 9/26/2012 1:39:21 PM ---

Don’t worry, Novell still uses Groupwise 🆒 The problem was with a third party product that Novell is using for spam control. Seems like the old version was working fine, but the newer version is unable to keep up with the volume of incoming email. ## – MatthewEhle MatthewEhle’s Profile: [http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=39054](http://forums.novell.com/member.php?userid=39054) View this thread: [http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=460179](http://forums.novell.com/showthread.php?t=460179)
