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.
