-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Further to the recent announcements regarding our email upgrade programme, it is appropriate that we inform you of the progress we are making towards complete replacement of the POP3 and associated services. Last month we brought the new servers into use and have been slowly migrating service from the old systems to the new. Currently the new servers are handling much of the load for both customers collecting email by POP3 and in-bound (SMTP) email from the Internet. The old servers (Punt 1 and 2) are however still part of the email service and before we start on the next phase, which will end with the decommissioning of the old servers, we are making additional changes and carrying out performance tuning based on our experience to date. Customers should also note that, although at the end of the migration dial-up customers will only see a single punt record (Punt 3) both from which they collect their email and in their MX records, Punt 3 is in fact a cluster of high performance servers, not a single machine. Customers are also reminded of the following: Customers collecting email by SMTP will start to see Punt 3 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. Further advice relating the above points can be found at: http://www.demon.net/helpdesk/mailadvice/ Malcolm Muir Demon Internet - -- Malcolm S. Muir Demon Internet Ltd.
