Spam Spike Slows Email Delivery

12 02 2007

Over the weekend there was a tremendous spike in the amount of spam email arriving on campus. This spike taxed our servers and essentially halted the delivery of outgoing email. Messages were enqueued - they were not lost - and normal delivery has now resumed. We expect that the backlog of messages will be cleared sometime early this afternoon.

Last week 1.9 million email messages arrived on campus.
