My email server is down

[rhu]

If you're trying to reach me via email, please note that the greenehouse.com email server has been down since about 8:30 this evening. I've put in a support ticket on our hosting service but I don't know how long we'll be offline.

Edited to add: We came back online at 6:30 this morning, and the backlog is now flowing again. Thanks, jik!

Ouch. Who's the hosting service?

The hosting service is VPSLink; they are usually very responsive so I'm not too worried. I've already gotten a notification that they've started to examine the problem.

It's back up

Mail is flowing once again, Andrew. ;-)

Thanks. And thanks for being my backup server.

BTW, the SIPB Is now offering a free VM hosting service, http://xvm.mit.edu/. I'm using an MIT XVM as my backup MX server now. It's pretty cool, although the set-up infrastructure is still a little flakey and I'm not sure they offer the kind of up-time guarantees that would be appropriate for a primary mail server (as opposed to a backup).
