On Friday, February 21, 2014, at 6:15 AM, CCS replaced the existing Internet facing firewall with a newer and much faster firewall.

Email messages that were sent or received between 6:15 AM and 7:50 AM were queued for delivery and it may take a few hours before they showing up on users’ mailboxes.

Please accept our apologies for the outage.
