-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----

Further to the recent announcements regarding our mail upgrade
programme, I can inform you that last night we reached a
significant point in the programme.

Customers using POP3 will find they are now connecting to the new
servers to collect their mail. At present these servers are only
providing a 'front end' and no mail is being delivered to them or
stored on them. However, you should be seeing a reduction in the
incidence of 'server busy' messages.

Once we are satisfied this stage is performing satisfactorily, we
will begin transferring in-bound mail connections to the new
servers.

Customers should note the following:

   During the transition period fingering post will show three,
   rather than two, punts.

   At a future date customers collecting email by SMTP will see
   new IP addresses connecting to them to deliver email.

   Customers who run firewalls or otherwise control in-bound
   connections should follow our advice to allow any machine in the
   range 194.217.242.0 to 194.217.242.255  to connect to their SMTP
   servers to deliver email.

   The obsolete finger service on port 666 will not be available
   on the replacement servers.

Additionally, customers collecting email using POP3 should also ensure
that they are not caching older DNS entries for the POP3 cluster.
