Server update between 5:00 and 5:30 pm today

Greetings to our CharlesWorks email users!

Just a notification that there will be a server modification done that will take under 10 minutes done between 5 and 5:30 this afternoon.

The should be no disruption in mail flow although the server will be inaccessible for as long as 10 minutes.

Thanks for your understanding as we continue to keep things up to date and secure for you!

Enjoy your day!
Charles


Email server notifications could be a really important use of this type of functionality. Unfortunately, some people lose their minds if their email doesn’t work 100% the way they expect it. If you knew what I know about email transports, you might be surprised that it works at all. In a nutshell, email requires that nearly a dozen servers all work perfectly in order to get the email from one place to another. Amazingly, it works extremely well. However, the monkey wrench in the works is the increased mitigation of spam and phishing emails. I predict it will only get worse as we move forward.
