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.
