We started having problems more than a week ago, with queues of 10K and more building up over the day through to Xtra. At night, this was 2-3 times as bad. We managed to (finally) get through to CTSHelp, who advised us that Xtra had made a policy decision to only accept 2 connections per source IP/domain. This was effectively throttling our mail down to around 2-3 messages per second. Obviously an attempt to limit the impact of the recent Sober work and variants on xtra's part...

Xtra's "No known problems line"
by Neil Gardner 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

I'm not advocating anything illegal but... If anyone on here has the artistic skills, the access and the guts, replacing that "No known problems" with a picture of an Ostrich with it's head in the ground, and a speech bubble with "There are currently no....".... Well, I'm not sure I could imagine anything funnier :-) N. -- Cheers - Neil Gardner Networking and Security Support Engineer Renaissance Brands (09) 968-3681 / (021) 746-345

Chuckle - I _KNOW_ it's just a coincidence, but less than 15 minutes after lampooning Xtra's generally useless status page about never being updated, they have managed to list the intermittent (!) email problem, only 26 hours after it was first notied on this list! -- Cheers - Neil Gardner Networking and Security Support Engineer Renaissance Brands (09) 968-3681 / (021) 746-345

Update to Ihug Time Servers.
by Simon Lyall 22 Apr '04

22 Apr '04

[ This email is being sent to NZNOG and Bcc'd to about 100 people who have notified me that they are using Ihug's Time Servers. Apologies for any duplicates or errors. ] Ihug has made a small change to it's NTP servers which may affect people using them, Specifically: tk4.ihug.co.nz is going to be eliminated on 1st May 2004 tk3.ihug.co.nz had it's IP permanently moved yesterday (to 203.109.252.5) tk1.ihug.co.nz and tk2.ihug.co.nz are unchanged. If you are using tk4 then you will need to update your configuration, if you are using tk3 then you will need to ensure your NTP daemon is using it's new IP. Please use DNS of these machines in the config rather than IPs where possible. Please email me if you have any further questions. Also, If you are running a NTP server on a permanently connected machine you might want to look at joining the pool.ntp.org project , See http://www.pool.ntp.org/ for details. Currently New Zealand has around 5 servers in the project. -- Simon Lyall, | System Admin | Work: simon.lyall(a)ihug.co.nz Senior Engineer, | Network Admin | Home: simon(a)darkmere.gen.nz Ihug Ltd, Auckland, NZ | Asst Doorman | Web: http://www.darkmere.gen.nz
