Due to the nature of the defense against these attacks, some locations may be affected more than others. I haven’t noticed a complete loss of Fastmail services during the past few hours, but at times the system was much slower than normal.

For most of these techniques to be useful, I believe that they need to be deployed at the vast majority of edge routers where packets enter the internet. Bill |

Seems to be working again (at least for me). Status page has been appropriately updated.

As before, IMAP client (Thunderbird) gets mail with no problem. The issue seems to be with the web interface.

I may be having some luck connecting in to webmail (and POP via desktop client) by connecting in from other countries via my VPN service. It's hard to say for sure, as FM access may be intermittent anywhere during the attack.

Ugh, still out.
This is the longest I've been without access since I joined FM a few years ago. Maybe this is an argument against depending on using aliases (or those masked addresses) and just using a single email address and filtering off that (assuming that would even work should we ever get the system back to make such a change). I use a forwarding service so I could just point it to some other email service but that won't help with the aliases. |

I'm rapidly coming to the conclusion that if I want guaranteed reliability then I am going to have to use one of the big providers Google, Microsoft et al.
I use my own domain name so it would be very easy for me to do that. I am going to see how this week pans out and then decide. |
