Due to a mass mailing from outside Ryerson, the RMail and Groupwise systems, as well as other departmental e-mail systems relying on spam and filtering services provided by CCS experienced a considerable slowdown in delivering mail yesterday (Jan. 19). The slowdown began at 6 PM and lasted until after midnight. One server experienced a longer delay until 5 AM.
Measures have been implemented to avoid this particular problem in the future, and we are looking into additional options to reduce the risk of similar re-occurrences.
