-----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. Malcolm Muir Demon Internet - -- Malcolm S.
