Unless you have been living under a rock in the desert, you will know we had some serious issues with email sending the last 2 weeks.

We finally were able to upgrade the core servers this past weekend, and everything is now SUPER fast!

Just to give you some idea of how things have improved …

Before this upgrade, the absolute maximum messages we were able to deliver in an hour, per server, was around 350,000. Since this upgrade, we have not been ...

We’re not catching up as quickly as we need to.

This is NOT anyone’s fault, but, right now, mail is delayed by days, and not hours, and this is not good for anyone.

So, we need to take drastic measure here to 1st get caught up with the MTA reading in email.

This is what we HAVE to do right now to get things moving back to normal as quickly as possible…

Let me give you a quick run down on what is happening at Imnica Mail right now.

Slow sending.

About a month ago, sending of email started slowing down considerably.

We have spent almost every waking moment, working on this issue. We had 3 teams working on this.
