WebHostingZone's outbound mail infrastructure was hit with a sustained denial of service attack commencing on February 1st and continuing through today. We have added new capacity to accommodate the increased load resulting from this attack. However, our queues are fairly large at the moment and you may notice delays in delivering mail. Our normal mail delivery standard is

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this is causing to you and your customers. I want to assure you that we have all of our engineers working on this problem, and that we will resolve it definitively as soon as possible.
 
 

================== UPDATE ==================
We have increased our system capacity and have made other changes to reduce the potential for a disruption of this nature. Mail is flowing more easily now, however the average time to submit a message to the system is still around 10 seconds, which is above the long term average. The message queue has come down in size to approximately 80% above normal, and our systems are clearing the queues.
 
We are continuing to work on this on a 24x7 basis. Thank you for your continued understanding.
