352188 2005-05-05 00:36:00 Is the Paradise mail server down? I can't get through to support, and I cannot access email through either my email proggie or webmail. It seemed to be up and down yesterday and there were lots of delays as well, so I guess the thing has fallen over yet again. Yesterday's behaviour is consistent with the last time their mail servers crashed.

Support took me through the whole painful automated question answer thing, then there was silence, and then the Happy Recorded Voice came back saying "I'm sorry, I am having difficulty in connecting you; please call again." Click beep beep beep... Arrrgghhhhh :badpc:

352189 2005-05-05 00:41:00 Yes it is. Their voice message tells you pctek (84)
352190 2005-05-05 01:04:00 Yes it is. Their voice message tells you

I didn't get any voice message - I just got the interminable voice wanting to know what I wanted. But thanks.

352191 2005-05-05 01:31:00 Yep I get the dreaded no socket error...
managed to force a few through by repeated redialing...
download speed is steady on 4 Kb/s so maybe they should crash the mail more often :)

352193 2005-05-05 04:54:00 I was about to make a thread on the same thing John, haha.

Yeah the emails seem to be getting delayed. I've just had one arrive in that was sent around 2:30am this morning.

Send one to yourself to test and see if it comes back. I sent one from my Uni email an hour ago and that hasn't arrived through yet.

352194 2005-05-05 05:28:00 Paradise is 'down' here as well - for the umpteenth time in the past 18months! I wonder if other ISP's have this problem. How much longer will we tolerate this service? Oldferix (5581)

Whilst the server seems to be working again, I have had a reply from someone to a group email that hasn't even reached me yet; and I have had huge delays receiving a group email that I sent with my own name in it. I was getting replies to that email before the original came back to me hours later - all very similar to the symptoms that preceded last year's major crash. Grrrrrr...

352196 2005-05-05 09:57:00 Orcon published a network announcement that their mail server is down as well.

There has been a huge amount of virus activity from the sober.o and sober.p viruses in the last 3 days. I know of one organization that has singlehandedly infected half of my town :)

I would hazard a guess that the paradise mail servers are suffering the same fate.
