Default Site Maintenance Wed, Feb 25th, 9AM EST

Starting at 9AM EST this coming Wednesday February 25th I will be performing a number of necessary maintenance tasks to the site and our servers. This work will attempt to resolve a number of technical and configuration issues designed to make the site more reliable, secure and efficient.

This is NOT a website upgrade or update. The focus is entirely on the back-end systems and hardware. I would normally do this sort of thing on a Saturday to impact the fewest number of people but since I will require the help of additional people to deal with the physical hardware I have to work around their schedules.

I expect the site to offline shortly after 9AM and remain offline for most if not all of the day, until as late as 11PM EST. I apologize for the inconvenience but it is necessary and unavoidable.

Thank you for your understanding and support.

Will email be impacted as well during this window? I had noticed that with the recent server outages, email had been down.

If I were to set up email forwarding rules within SquirrelMail - Will these settings stick during the blackout window?

Thanks for everything you do C3!

Webmail will be affected but mail itself will not. Your best option is to use POP or IMAP to retrieve your s2ki mail and use webmail as an alternate means of receiving and reading your email.

Instructions are here: https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showt...post&p=10990706

Forwarding setup with webmail should function normally so if you've set up your mail to forward it will. Either solution will be uninterrupted.
