MXroute - Notice history

We're running some necessary software updates to the fleet. Random things might flap up/down just a bit but nothing too bad or for very long.

If a webmail instance goes down for a bit on one of these boxes during the MySQL/PHP upgrades, feel free to use https://webmail.mxroute.com or any other email client you already have.

We will be performing maintenance on the Crossbox (mail.mxlogin.com) webmail client at 12:00AM US/Central on October 6th, 2024. We are scheduling a 12 hour outage and expecting it to take much less. This does not impact email service at all, only one of our webmail choices. If you need a suggestion on a different webmail to use during this time, try using webmail.mxlogin.com which will function with any email account that is hosted on our systems.

If for some reason you plan to use webmail.mxlogin.com to login to an email account that is not pointing it's MX records to us, you can add a TXT record to the DNS of that customer domain which has the name "mxwebmail" and the contents "safari.mxrouting.net" inside it.

The safari.mxrouting.net server will be going down sometime between 7PM and 11PM US/Central time today for the addition of two SSD drives that will be used to migrate the MySQL installation off of the same array housing the rest of customer data. This is intended to address the root cause of a performance issue that had been reported a while back. While we've been fine on performance for some time, that event did teach us what was necessary to prevent it from occurring again in the future, and this is it. We do not expect the server to be down during the 4 hour window that we've specified. We expect it to occur sometime during that window. Unfortunately we are not able to schedule this to a more specific time or to a further date in the future, today is when the stars aligned.
