Email storage

This weekend we suffered a delay to mail appearing in inboxes after a large influx of mail. This was not caused by the volume of mail since we allow for spikes, however by the lack of available space.

Users are reminded that mail inboxes are a free service supplied with hosting on domains. We have been contacting those who are using excessive space, and pointing out to those using inboxes without hosting that there are issues - some have been slow to act or respond - resulting in the lack of space and delay to perceived arrival.

Our mail mechanism has many servers ready to receive and process mail, and will happily sit on it until it is able to process this to inboxes. This issue was transient, and after alerts were issued, no longer current.

All delayed mail has been flushed to inboxes well before Monday morning.
