Fri Mar 14 12:07:03 PST 2003 — Graymail updates: We deployed a rewritten graymail notification and expiration processor a on Wednesday night. The new processor resolves the performance problems that the old one was having, speeding up a single run from a 10+ hour job to just 78 minutes.

Currently, over 11,000 of our members are enjoying the pleasures of a SPAM free inbox. We strongly urge anyone who hasn’t enabled SpamAssassin and Graymail on their account already, to do so now at sonic.sonic.net/membertools/spamcan/. -Kelsey and Nathan

Fri Mar 7 21:07:29 PST 2003 — Connectivity with one of our upstream providers is experiencing problems. Traffic is being rerouted while we determine and fix the problem. Customers should not notice any connectivity issues as our redundant provider is picking up the slack. -Matt and Nathan

Tue Mar 4 10:05:38 PST 2003 — Former Inreach DSL customers in the Stockton (LATA 9) area will be moved to the Sonic network during a maintenance window Thursday, 3/6/03, between 5 and 7 AM. The actual outage should be much shorter than that. -John and Nathan

Sun Mar 2 09:34:46 PST 2003 — Border router failure. A VIP in one of our core Cisco 7500 routers failed this morning causing routing instability until it was removed. This VIP was been used to provide redundancy in our core and is not needed for normal operation. We will be investigating why the the failure of one of the router’s redundant interfaces interfered with it’s operation; it should have gone relatively unnoticed. While the router was having difficulty, reachability to or from our network may have been spotty and some of our prefixes were dampened by remote networks. At this time, all of the router’s services have been fully restored and our network has returned to normal. -Kelsey and Nathan
