Cannot access. Getting this:

I'm sorry, the server is currently down. Updates will be posted to our blog.

Seems to have come back after only about 3 minutes.

Not here it hasn't.

David · 20 May 2003, 02:08 AM

Looks like its back again. Just another hiccup I think. Its back again for me; fastmail did this yesterday morning as well. Lasted about 2 or 3 minutes add italics

and then went down again

Edit: Back up again

kwiniec · 20 May 2003, 02:09 AM

Yeah, it was doing this up-a-couple, down-a-couple oscillation the other day. The status page doesn't update fast enough to keep up with it either. All very annoying.

We're back!

IMAP seems to be functioning, but not the web interface. Either that, or I'm hitting one when it's up and the other when it's down.

still down for me... have been checking for 5 to 10 minutes now.

But you can't trust it with this behavior. Just now I watched it go up for 90 seconds and then go down again.

Quite right. Same thing just happened here. Weird.

My IMAP is working fine (receiving mail) but the website is down for me.

It's still down for me... I can't even access the login screen.

David · 20 May 2003, 02:23 AM

Fastmail is fine now, where I am located and has been for a few minutes. I noticed however that what was happening was similar to what happened the other day. Jeremy mentioned that this was a "DOS" attack.
