tigertech-announce Mailing List: Slow Mail Delivery Earlier Today

[Tiger Technologies (support]

Dear Tiger Technologies E-Mail Users,

Starting at about 7:15 am Pacific time today, and continuing for a 
little over two hours, mail delivery through our servers was very slow 
in some cases. No mail was lost, but it wasn't delivered as quickly as 
it should have been: delays ranged from a couple of minutes to over an 
hour in a few cases.

The problem has been completely resolved. All queued mail has been 
delivered and there are no more delays.

This problem happened because a widespread virus is using one of our 
customer's e-mail addresses to send forged messages, resulting in an 
incoming barrage of "bounces" far exceeding our normal mail levels. We 
now have rules in place to block such messages, and the problem should 
not recur.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience or annoyance that this 
problem caused you. We know you rely on us for prompt mail delivery, and 
we strive to always meet that expectation.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you.
