Greetings from your country cousin in Auck. We have to work these hours to catch up – te he!! I would take a bold guess and say I bet the Xtra problem has something to do with the new security (more firewalls, additional filtering etc) that Xtra is putting in for spam – slowing the whole system down. - I have no idea of course - that you will get this message or when. I guess I am lucky I got all of yours – because I use another host for my popmail and send thru Xtra. Perhaps Xtras email letting us all know what is happening is similarly delayed (I jest.:)
I have also found that it is extremely beneficial to always have an alternate ISP set up - for help during periods where hosting issues such as this arise. - expensive on an individual basis but achievable on a shared basis.
Anyway - Not to let Xtra off the hook – but actually even their competitors have the same issues – I regularly have the same problem with communications with customers on the Wellington CBD fibre loop - they just don’t have such a huge volume impact on all NZ business (oops who said that – sorry Wellingtonians – no offence I am sure you understand what I mean!!).
There also appears to be a number of issues at present with population of new web sites thru the network. - I launched a new site for a client on Thursday – and it still hasn’t completely populated NZ servers.
It is really great to be able to get this kind of communication across thru the industry – thanks – I didn’t appreciate the scale of the problem until I realised it wasn’t just me!!– I guess I am used to waiting so long for people to respond to my emails.
Perhaps it would be good idea for Xtra to post a notice on their front page – instead of leaving a message on the answer phone at their help desk.
Cheers And nighty night Alice.
