You can assure them there is no issue. The server is being intentionally exhausted in attempt to keep a few more percent of spam away. That is mutiple content checks are being done for every mail accepted on server. As soon as we have our new antispam solution in place, these extra check will be disabled and everything will flow smooth, with lesser spam. I'll see if i can lessen this effect, but FYI this issue is intermittent.
They wont be fine with more spam either.
I mean extra layer of antispam has been enabled and this slows down a few things like POP3 sometimes if flooded with huge number of simultaneous messages coming in.
Do you mean delay in receiving emails from external accounts?
It was happening with messages being sent from "domain-to-domain" (both on MAIL3) and also from external accounts to users on MAIL3. ~68shelby
dlrmartin,
We do share changes, we had massive complaints about spam so we told people we were turning anti spam settings up.
Everyone is being bombarded with spam, postini clients are even complaining so much about spam getting through they had to make a press release about the huge numbers of spam.

Tanmaya changed the settings a bit it my result in a little more spam but the mail is coming more timely, it is a lose lose battle it seems
We are working on dspam solution with the dspam developer now, it is an external server and we will update more on this as we get there.

Stephen,
Yes, we are so concern about spam and all know the problem that we are facing, no doubts.
But my complaint is that you made critical changes that affect mail during 2 days with delays upto 6 hours and timeouts without notice.
We didn't know what was happened, maybe an issue or who knows...
We need to stay up to day in order to give consistent answer to our already angry (due to spam) customers.
what will be next step in this battle?
thanks

Martin, I would like to clarify that the changes i mentioned about could slow down "POP access" in case the server gets too busy, as i misinterpreted your initial question. The queue thing is something different and has been taken care of. And I disabled a few antispam settings to make it better overall, but that isnt the main issue there or any very major change, just so you know.
What we have been trying to implement is aimed at taking majority of antispam task off the actual mailserver and this is why i said things should be even smoother once it is completely in place.
