Scattered mail failures

We’ve discovered that selected email addresses at Yahoo have been blocked (by Yahoo) due to the spam that leaked through our lists lately. Now that we have the leakage under control, we are working with Yahoo to clear up the blockage.

Watch here (or follow tigrisdotorg on Twitter) for further details.

At this time, these Yahoo addresses are the last ones we know of with such blocking. If you have any evidence of other addresses being blocked, please let us know, by email to “feedback” at Tigris dot Org.

Service semi-outage

For about half the day today, Tigris.Org was spottily unavailable, and a great deal of mail that should have passed through Tigris was queued up at the sending sites. The site itself was actually fit as a fiddle, but the DNS arrangements suffered a service interruption due to some damage to the local network backbone.

Service was restored mid-afternoon, and CollabNet (our hosts) are taking extra steps to make sure this sort of thing doesn’t happen again.
