The server administrator for friam.org and redfish.com has confirmed some of
the problems we've had with email over the last week. Another domain that is
co-hosted on our servers has been under Denial-of-Service attacks. Hopefully
we're back to normal.
-Steve
from the Administrator:
"The server that your web site is hosted on did get hit with a large email
based DOS attack. Basically somebody was sending hundreds of email messages
to
a differnt web site on your server every 10 seconds. The mail server opened
an incoming
thread for each of those incoming email messages. In order to prevent the
server from becoming overloaded and crashing, the mail server started
denying
ALL new incoming email messages.
We had to move the site to its own server to prevent other sites from being
negatively affected. We are very sorry for the inconvenience."
