Replacement webserver arrived this afternoon, and we were able to move the webhosting load onto it. This allowed Spamtrap and other degraded mail services to be restored to normal functioning. If you are still having trouble, please contact our Customer Service at 800-918-9023, and let us help you check everything.

Lightning Damage

Lightning damaged one of our webservers and we had to move the websites to the SPAM filter machine temporarily. Those two processes have been temporarily combined into one machine, so both services are running in a degraded state due to the increased load on the machine. Spamtrap whitelists, blacklists, and custom rules are temporarily suspended and the filter is running on default rules. You will be getting more SPAM. Please bear with us as we work towards stabilization.

Major Fiber Outage

Wednesday morning's storms and rains wreaked havoc in many areas in Mississippi. Reports of flooding, downed trees, phone and power lines have come in from across the state. We are currently experiencing extreme slowness due to a major fiber disruption in AT&T's network. We have re-routed traffic to a smaller back-up feed so that you all will be able to get _some_ connectivity, albeit much slower than you are accustomed to having.

Dixie-Net personnel were up most of the night on the phone, pushing for updates and specifics, and it is our understanding that fiber crews were to be onsite this morning at 7:00 to begin the repair. It is also our understanding that there are about 100 major customers like Dixie-Net who are also impacted by this outage.

Please bear with us as we wait for updates, which we will post here.
